Popis: 2,6-Dichloroindophenol (DCIP) is shown to be utilised efficiently as electron acceptor replacing dioxygen in the reaction of Trigonopsis variabilis d -amino acid oxidase (TvDAO) with d -methionine as the substrate. The specificity constant for DCIP reduction at 30 °C is one-twelfth that of oxygen conversion into hydrogen peroxide. Time course analysis of simultaneous consumption of DCIP and dioxygen, recorded on-line by absorption and non-invasive fluorescence quenching, respectively, pinpoints the preferential utilisation of dioxygen; and reveals a maximum DCIP conversion rate that is independent of the initial concentration of dioxygen. A robust direct assay of TvDAO activity has been developed that does not require anaerobic reaction conditions. It was down-scaled to microtitre plate format and overcomes practical limitations of other assays due to the low affinity of TvDAO for dioxygen ( K m ≈ 0.7 mmol L −1 ).
