Abstract

The quantitation of liberated reducing sugars by the copper-bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay provides a highly sensitive method for the measurement of glycoside hydrolase (GH) activity, particularly on soluble polysaccharide substrates. Here we describe a straightforward method adapted to low-volume polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tubes that enables the rapid, parallel determination of GH kinetics in applications ranging from initial activity screening and assay optimization to precise Michaelis-Menten analysis.<br /> (© 2023.
