The MAO-Glo Assay: A bioluminescent-coupled assay for monoamine oxidase activity
Although cytochrome P450 enzymes are responsible for the majority of drug metabolism reactions, the monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are arguably the second-most important phase I biotransformation enzymes. MAOs catalyze the oxidative deamination of a number of biogenic and xenobiotic amines to the corresponding aldehydes with consumption of O2 and production of H2O2 (1). These flavoenzymes are locate...
متن کاملMethods for in vitro evaluating antimicrobial activity: A review☆
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in researching and developing new antimicrobial agents from various sources to combat microbial resistance. Therefore, a greater attention has been paid to antimicrobial activity screening and evaluating methods. Several bioassays such as disk-diffusion, well diffusion and broth or agar dilution are well known and commonly used, but others such...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Activity of Chitosan Film Forming Solution Enriched with Essential Oils; an in vitro assay
Background: The resistance of the bacteria and fungi to the innumerous antimicrobial agents is a major challenge in the treatment of the infections demands to the necessity for searching and fi nding new sources of substances with antimicrobial properties. The incorporation of the essential oils (EOs) in chitosan fi lm forming solution may enhance antimicrobial properties. Howe...
متن کاملA simple, fully enzymic bioluminescent assay for triglycerides in serum.
In this fully enzymic bioluminescent assay, triglycerides are cleaved by lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) and carboxylesterase (EC 3.1.1.1), and the glycerol obtained is phosphorylated with ATP and glycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.30). The ATP consumed in the latter reaction is determined by the firefly luciferin-luciferase reaction, and corresponds to the concentration of triglycerides. All the enzymic reactions ...
