Abstract

The invention relates to an assay for the determination of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase-5 (LDH5) and to a biosensor for such quantitative determination. The assay is based on the interaction of this enzyme with the substrate lactic acid and nicotine-amine adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to yield pyruvic acid and the reduction product of NAD. Anti-LDH5 antibody is bound to a suitable glassy carbon electrode, this is contacted with the substrate containing LDH5, rinsed, inserted into a NAD solution, connected to an amperometric system, lactic acid is added and the current changes are measured, which are indicative of the quantity of LDH-5.
