摘要：Chymotrypsin is an important proteolytic enzyme in the human digestive system that cleaves milk proteins through the hydrolysis reaction, making it an interesting subject to study the activity of milk proteases. In this work, we compared detection of chymotrypsin by spectrophotometric dynamic light scattering (DLS) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) methods and determined the limit of chymotrypsin detection (LOD), 0.15 ± 0.01 nM for spectrophotometric, 0.67 ± 0.05 nM for DLS and 1.40 ± 0.30 nM for QCM methods, respectively. The sensors are relatively cheap and are able to detect chymotrypsin in 3035 min. While the optical detection methods are simple to implement, the QCM method is more robust for sample preparation, and allows detection of chymotrypsin in non-transparent samples. We give an overview on methods and instruments for detection of chymotrypsin and other milk proteases.
