Provided is a composition by which glycated hemoglobin can be measured even in the presence of a stronger surfactant than a conventional case. Also provided is a buffer and/or stabilizer which maintains the residual activity of an amadoriase or lowers a reduction of residual activity. The present invention provides a composition for use in measuring glycated hemoglobin containing an amadoriase having substitution of one or more amino acid residues at a position(s) corresponding to an amino acid(s) selected from the group consisting of position 262, position 257, position 249, position 253, position 337, position 340, position 232, position 129, position 132, position 133, position 44, position 256, position 231 and position 81 of an amadoriase derived from the genus Coniochaeta and represented by SEQ ID No: 1 or 3, and having residual activity even in the presence of a surfactant. The present invention also provides a composition and kit for use in measuring glycated hemoglobin, comprising a specific stabilizer and/or a buffer. The present invention can provide an enzyme and a composition for use in measuring glycated hemoglobin, excellent in storage stability even if they are exposed to a surfactant.

This invention provides an HbA1c dehydrogenase that is capable of directly acting on hemoglobin A1c and is less likely to be influenced by oxygen concentration and a method for measurement and a kit of assay reagents using such HbA1c dehydrogenase. The HbA1c dehydrogenase having dehydrogenase activity and capable of directly acting on HbA1c is obtained by substitution of one or more amino acid residues at positions corresponding to positions 280, 269, 54, 241, and 267 of the amadoriase that is capable of directly acting on hemoglobin A1c and is derived from, for example, the genus Coniochaeta. This invention also provides a method for measurement of HbA1c, a kit of assay reagents, and a sensor using such HbA1c dehydrogenase. Such HbA1c dehydrogenase is capable of directly acting on hemoglobin A1c and has lowered oxidase activity and/or enhanced dehydrogenase activity. This not only eliminates the need for treatment of hemoglobin A1c with a protease but also enables the use of an electron mediator in the measurement of HbA1c, thereby reducing effects due to oxygen concentration, and enables HbA1c measured with high sensitivity.
摘要:
A flavin-binding glucose dehydrogenase having high substrate specificity for D-glucose and decreased reactivity to D-xylose and/or maltose. More specifically, a flavin-binding glucose dehydrogenase having one or more amino acid substitutions at a position corresponding to position 78, position 79, position 81, position 121, position 122, position 123, position 569 and position 612 of Mucor-derived flavin-binding glucose dehydrogenase. The flavin-binding glucose dehydrogenase enables D-glucose to be measured accurately without being susceptible to the effects of the presence of D-xylose and/or maltose, even under conditions of mounting a large amount of an enzyme such as in glucose sensors.

This invention provides an amadoriase that acts on the β-chain of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and generates hydrogen peroxide, a method for measurement of HbA1c using such amadoriase, and a reagent kit for measurement of HbA1c using such amadoriase. The method for measurement of HbA1c involves the use of an amadoriase that has specific activity of 0.1 U/mg or greater to αF6P and oxidizes the HbA1c β-chain amino terminus so as to generate hydrogen peroxide, and the reagent kit for measurement of HbA1c comprises such amadoriase. The method and the kit for measurement of HbA1c enable quantification of HbA1c to be performed rapidly, simply, and accurately.
