A continuous spectrophotometric method for the determination of leucine aminopeptidase.

چکیده
A new method to assay the enzyme, leucine aminopeptidase (LAP; L-leucyl-peptide hydrolase.-3.4.1.1), is described. The technic is an extension of the conventional glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) reaction. Serum LAP is allowed to react with the substrate L-leucyl-L-alanine to quantitatively generate alanine. This alanine, in the presence of excess -ketoglutaric acid and GPT, rapidly forms pyruvate, which is converted to lactate by excess lactic dehydrogenase (LDH). Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is quantitatively oxidized in this reaction. The change in reduced NAD concentration is followed by continuous spectrophotometry at 340 m.

A continuous method for the determination of leucine aminopeptidase in human serum with L-leucinamide as substrate.
A continuous procedure for the determination of leucine aminopeptidase is described. L-leucinamide is used as substrate and the liberated ammonia is determined with the glutamate dehydrogenase reaction. The enzyme is Mn2+-activated and 30 mumol/l MnCl2 is necessary for an optimal activity measurement. Influence of buffer type, buffer concentration and pH are reported together with the apparent ...
متن کاملSolvent extraction, spectrophotometric determination of copper (II) from environmental samples using o-methylphenyl thiourea as a novel reagent
A simple and rapid method has been developed for solvent extraction and spectrophotometric determination of copper (II) using o-methylphenyl thiourea (OMPT) as a sensitive reagent. The basis of proposed method is formation of copper (II)-OMPT complex. Copper (II) was extracted with 0.020 mol L-1 OMPT in chloroform from aqueous solution in 0.075 mol L-1 potassium iodate. The absorbance of comple...

SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC REACTION RATE METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF SLWR BASED ON ITS CATALYTIC EFFEICT ON THE OXIDATION OF GLLOCYANW BY PER0XYDISULPTE
A sensitive and selective procedure was developed for the spectrophotometric determination of silver by its catalytic effect on the oxidation of gallocyanine by peroxydisulphate in acidic media at 540 nm. Silver can be determined in the range of 0.001-0.500 µg/ml with a limit of detection of 0.0005 µg/ml, by a fixed-time method of 4.0 min from initiation of the reaction, The relative standa...
