Chromogenic groupings in the Lowry protein determination

The lowry method for protein quantitation.

The most accurate method of determining protein concentration is probably acid hydrolysis followed by amino acid analysis. Most other methods are sensitive to the amino acid composition of the protein and absolute concentrations cannot be obtained. The procedure of Lowry et al. (1) is no exception, but its sensitivity is moderately constant from protein to protein, and it has been so widely use...

Automated determination of heparin with chromogenic substrates.

Spectrophotometric heparin assays which are based on the catalytic effect of heparin on either the inactivation of thrombin or that of factor Xa by antithrombin III, were adapted for use in a laboratory batch analyzer. Optimal conditions were determined for assays using the chromogenic substrates Chromozym-Th and S-2238 with thrombin, and S-2222 with factor Xa. Inactivation of the clotting enzy...

The Coffin-Lowry syndrome.

determination of maximal singularity free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulator

due to the limiting workspace of parallel manipulator and regarding to finding the trajectory planning of singularity free at workspace is difficult, so finding a best solution that can develop a technique to determine the singularity-free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulators is highly important. in this thesis a simple and new technique are presented to determine the maximal singula...

A new chromogenic assay for the specific determination of prothrombin.

A new method for the specific assay of prothrombin is described which utilises Taipan snake venom and the chromogenic substrate Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-pNA (Chromozym TH). The method is sensitive and reproducible and shows good correlation with a conventional specific assay for prothrombin. The reaction is dependent on calcium ions and phospholipid, and is therefore sensitive to the coumarin-induced pr...
