New enzymatic method with tryptophanase for determining potassium in serum.
We established a simple and rapid enzymatic method for measuring potassium ion in serum by using tryptophanase (EC 4.1.99.1) purified from Escherichia coli K12 strain (E. coli K12 IFO 3301). The presence of pyridoxal 5-phosphate promotes this enzymatic reaction, and potassium and (or) ammonium ions further accelerate it, with ammonium and potassium ions providing equivalent acceleration. We eli...
متن کاملEvaluation of an Enzymatic Method for Determining Serum Creatinine Assay
The enzymatic method for the determination of serum creatinine is accepted as one of the standard method in a clinical laboratory. The enzymatic method for the determination of serum creatinine was optimized for use with Merilyzer AutoQuant-400 auto analyzer and its performance characteristics were practically compared with Jaffe’s Kinetic. Effects of some interfering substances like Serum bili...
متن کاملNew enzymatic assay of iron in serum.
A new enzymatic method for assaying iron in serum samples, suitable for automated analyzers, is reported. Three reagent mixtures are used: dilution buffer (pH 3.0; ascorbate), reagent 1 (pH 6.7; apoaconitase), and reagent 2 (pH 7.7; citrate, magnesium, and isocitrate dehydrogenase). Sera are diluted with dilution buffer. Fe3+ is liberated from transferrin in sera under acidic conditions, and th...
متن کاملStructure and function of urea amidolyase
Urea is the degradation product of a wide range of nitrogen containing bio-molecules. Urea amidolyase (UA) catalyzes the conversion of urea to ammonium, the essential first step in utilizing urea as a nitrogen source. It is widely distributed in fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms, and plays an important role in nitrogen recycling in the biosphere. UA is composed of urea carboxylase (UC) a...
متن کاملKinetic enzymatic method for determining serum creatinine.
Creatinine amidohydrolase is used to measure serum creatinine in a totally enzymatic procedure. Creatine, produced by hydrolysis, is acted upon by creatine kinase, and then by pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, to result in a change in absorbance at 340 nm. The amount of creatinine present is related to the rate of change in A340 and is determined from a standard curve. Absorbance and c...
