Continuous Spectrophotometric Assay for β - Glucuronidase
A continuous spectrophotometric assay has been developed for detecting β-glucuronidase activity. In the assay, Para-nitrophenyl β-D-glucuronide is cleaved to yield a chromophoric product. With the commercial E. coli enzyme, it is demonstrated that the reactions can be continuously monitored by the increase of absorbance at 405 nm. The method is highly sensitive and able to detect less than 1.4 ...
متن کاملA spectrophotometric assay for gentamicin.
A rapid and accurate spectrophotometric assay has been developed for the determination of blood werum levels of gentamicin and related antibiotics. The assay uses a purified enzyme from Escherichia coli JR88/C600 that acetylates gentamicin with the production of coenzyme A, linked to a chemical reaction with a sulfhydryl reagent to produce stoichiometric amounts of a sensitive chromophore, moni...
متن کاملDevelopment of a TaqMan multiplex PCR assay for detection of plasmid-mediated ampC β-lactamase genes.
A multiplex, real-time TaqMan assay was designed to identify clinical isolates carrying plasmid-mediated ampC genes. The specificity and sensitivity of this assay were 100% when testing characterized AmpC/non-AmpC-producing isolates and randomly selected clinical isolates. This is a rapid assay that can be performed in a clinical microbiology laboratory.

A new assay for 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (mevalonate: NADP oxidoreductase [acylating CoA] , EC 1.1.1.34) is based upon the measurement of released coenzyme A (SH) during the reduction of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA to mevalonate. Coenzyme A was measured in the presence of dithiothreitol, required for activity, by reaction with 5,5’-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). Sodium arsen...
متن کاملA spectrophotometric assay of intercellular communication.
Cell signalling and communication mechanisms are central to an understandmg of cell and tissue differentiation and many pathological processes. Intercellular communication in metazoans is a hnction of cell-cell conduits known as gap junctions [ I ] . There are three main classes of cell-cell junction occluding junctions, anchoring junctions and comunicating junctions. Gap junctions belong to th...
