[A bioluminescence method of determining the activity of NAD-dependent hydrogenase].
An analytical multienzyme system composed of NAD-dependent hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus, and reductase and luciferase from luminous bacteria was studied. The rate of luminescence increase of this system was found to be proportional to hydrogenase activity. The apparent Michaelis constants for NAD and hydrogen were determined (5 and 40 microM, respectively). The pH optimum is 7.5-9.0. Over the NAD concentration range from 20 to 100 microM, the rate of luminescence increase changed by less than 10%. At higher concentrations of NAD a monotonous decreasing of the rate of luminescence increase was observed. The proposed multienzyme system can be used for measuring the hydrogenase activity and hydrogen concentration. The high sensitivity to hydrogen (0.1 nmol in sample) and to hydrogenase (0.5 mU) and specificity of the system enable its application in the development of a biosensor for rapid detection of hydrogen in a medium.
