Interference test was performed by addition of coexisting reducing substances at concentrations of less than 1/2 of hydrogen peroxide substance,such as glucose,fructose,lactose and galactose. The catalase activity in fish liver was determined by the developed method. Results Serving 1 mL trivalent iron ion as catalyzer,and 5 mL rhodamine B as the base solution,the absorbance of the system was controlled within 0. 8. In 0. 002 mol/L sulfuric acid medium,the fading degree of rhodamine B tended to be the greatest after reaction at 40 ℃ for 60 min. The enzymatic reaction was complete within 15 min when the volume of hydrogen peroxide was 1. 00 mL. Under the optimal reaction condition,the activity of catalase at a concentration range of 0. 02 ~ 0. 3 U/mL showed good linear relationship to the ΔA,with a r value of 0. 999 2. With a detection limit of 0. 011 U/mL,the developed method may be used for determination of catalase activity in fish liver. Conclusion The developed rhodamine B fading spectrophotometric method showed high selectivity and high sensitivity,which was simple in equipment and handling,and was suitable for the analysis of trace catalase activity in biological samples.

    BI Ying-jie;XIE Jing-ying;FENG Ruo-fei;Key Bio-engineering and Technology Laboratory,Biomedical Research Center of the Northwest Minzu University;

    Heat shock protein(HSP)are proteins that are synthesized to protect the body from heat stress,which possess the function of molecular chaperone. HSP is classified into small molecule HSP family,HSP70 family,HSP90 family and HSP110 family according to the relative molecular mass. Recently,more and more studies have shown that HSP90 was involved in viral infection. HSP90 plays a role in the viral replication through direct interaction with viral proteins or interaction with other proteins. This article reviews the role of HSP90 in viral immunity in recent years,and provides a theoretical basis for the development of related drugs and inhibitors.
