Determination of Significance:
Phenylalanine Ammonia-lyase (PAL) is widely found in various plants and a few microorganisms. It is a key enzyme in plants phenylpropanoid metabolism. PAL is closely related to some important secondary substances synthetic such as lignin, isoflavones phytoalexin, flavonoid pigments, and play an important role in normal growth and development in plants and against the bacteria resist.
Measurement Principle:
L-phenylalanine can be decomposed into trans-cinnamic acid and ammonia by PAL, and trans-cinnamic acid has the maximum absorption value at 290 nm. In this kit, the activity of PAL can be calculated by measuring the absorbance increased rate.
Self Provided:
