Rapid gentamicin assay by enzymatic adenylylation.
A method is described for the assay of gentamicin using the enzyme gentamicin adenylyltransferase derived from an R-factor-carrying strain of Escherichia coli. The reaction involves adenylylation of the gentamicin with ((14)C)-ATP to form a radioactively labelled product. The technique is compared with the plate diffusion and the urease methods. The adenylylation technique gives results compara...
متن کاملDouble-osmotic-shock procedure to prepare gentamicin adenine mononucleotide transferase for the enzymatic assay of gentamicin.
The release of gentamicin adenine mononucleotide transferase during single, cold, osmotic-shock treatment of Escherichia coli K-12 W677/HJR66 is not always maximal. The quantity of gentamicin adenine mononucleotide transferase in osmotic extracts could be significantly increased when a double-shock procedure was performed.
متن کاملAn enzymatic radioassay for gentamicin.
An enzymatic, radiochemical assay procedure for measuring serum gentamicin by use of gentamicin 3-acetyl-transferase and [acetyl-14C]acetyl-Coenzyme A is described and evaluated. The enzyme stoichiometrically and quantitatively transfers a radioactive label to the analyte during a 10-min incubation at 37 degrees C. The labeled gentamicin is then absorbed onto phosphocellulose paper discs, which...
متن کاملA rapid enzymatic assay for methotrexate in serum.
A kinetic enzymological assay for methotrexate in serum is described; the results are available after 1.5 hours. The lower limit of sensivity is 50 nmol/1; the day-to-day variation coefficients compare favourably with other procedures (about 7% in the 200-600 nmol/1 range). The method uses purified dihydrofolic acid reductase from bovine liver. The problem of its instability in the assay is ci...
متن کاملEnzymatic Adenylylation of Streptomycin and Spectinomycin by R-Factor-Resistant Escherichia coli.
A resistance (R) factor- containing strain of Escherichia coli which is known to inactivate streptomycin by adenylylation has been shown to be spectinomycin resistant. An osmotic shockate of this strain catalyzes the formation of the biologically inactive spectinomycin adenylate, in which the adenylyl residue is probably attached to a d-threo methylamino alcohol moiety of spectinomycin. Both th...
