Abstract
Hydrolysis of indoxyl-based substrates by hydrolytic enzymes is a commonly used semiquantitative detection system that generates a water-insoluble indigo dye which is difficult to quantify. This work describes the quantitative analysis and enzyme kinetics for alkaline phosphatase (AP) and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl phosphate (BCIP) in solution obtained by applying known solubilization methodology from the textiles industry to the enzymatic product. This proposal is based on the reduction of the tetrahalo-indigo blue dye in a basic medium with the aim of generating its aqueous-soluble parent compound termed indigo white, which gives a rich yellow color in solution and is fluorescent. A quantitative ELISA (where a soluble end product is required) is accomplished for first time using BCIP as substrate.
