Determination of Significance:
Acetolactate Synthase (ALS, EC 4.1.3.18), also known as Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS). ALS is present in plant growth and is a key enzyme in the induction of the biosynthesis of the branched-chain amino acids (Ile, Leu, and Val) during the The key enzyme in the first stage of biosynthesis of branched chain amino acids (Ile, Leu, Val).
Measurement Principle:
ALS catalyzes the formation of acetolactate from pyruvate, which is decarboxylated under certain conditions to form acetoin, which reacts with creatine and α-naphthol under alkaline conditions to form a red substance with a maximum absorbance value at 525 nm.
