| Abstract: | Isoenzyme c of horseradish peroxidase (HRP‐C) is widely used in enzyme immunoassay combined with chemiluminescence (CL) detection. For this application, HRP‐C activity measurement is usually based on luminol oxidation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, this catalysis reaction was enhancer dependent. In this study, we demonstrated that Jatropha curcas peroxidase (JcGP1) showed high efficiency in catalyzing luminol oxidation in the presence of H2O2. Compared with HRP‐C, the JcGP1‐induced reaction was enhancer independent, which made the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) simpler. In addition, the JcGP1 catalyzed reaction showed a long‐term stable CL signal. We optimized the conditions for JcGP1 catalysis and determined the favorable conditions as follows: 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 8.2) containing 10 mM H2O2, 14 mM luminol and 0.75 M NaCl. The optimum catalysis temperature was 30°C. The detection limit of JcGP1 under optimum condition was 0.2 pM. Long‐term stable CL signal combined with enhancer‐independent property indicated that JcGP1 might be a valuable candidate peroxidase for clinical diagnosis and enzyme immunoassay with CL detection.
