Direct ELISA of Alpha-Amylase
Welcome to my workshop:
Fill in the card in the tri-fold brochure (if I don’t already have one from you) and turn it in to me a copy of my curriculum.
Please read through these slides (on the handout in your pee-chee folder).
When done, please read through the lab packet (in the pee-chee folder).

In Biotech, companies find a product of interest (amylase) and make sure to have assays to show
it’s presence, activity, & concentration
Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes starch digestion.
It is used commercially in several ways including:
1)Remove starch in products2)Produce sugar from starch3)Processing of cellulostic biofuel
The rAmylase Project is the focus of the 2nd semester of the SMBCP
• Learn how to assay for a protein of commercial interest (amylase)
• Transform cells to produce that protein (using pAmylase and C2523 cells)
• Scale-up cells to volumes where amylase can be purified and assayed

Introduction to ELISA ELISA – short for
enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay
An ELISA uses antibodies with conjugated enzymes to specifically identify and measure the amount
(concentration) of a protein in a solution
ELISA •A specific antibody (Ab) recognizes a specific protein (Ag).
•An enzyme bound to the Ab causes a color change in a substrate (so you can “see” the Ab is there).
•The more color in a well, the more Ab-enz complex is bound to target protein = higher target protein concentration.
