چکیده

We describe a new colorimetric method for measuring creatinine in serum and urine. Creatinine hydrolysis is catalyzed by creatinine amidohydrolase, and the creatine so produced is assayed in reactions catalyzed sequentially by creatine amidinohydrolase and sarcosine oxidase in a system that generates hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is measured at 510 nm in a reaction catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase, with 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid/4-aminophenazone as the chromogen. This series of reactions is complete in 30 min at room temperature. A blank sample measurement corrects for endogenous creatine. The standard curve is linear for creatinine concentrations as great as 2.21 mmol/L. Analytical recovery of creatinine in human sera and urine averaged 99.8%. Within-run and between-run precision studies gave CVs of less than or equal to 3.3 and less than or equal to 4.3% for a serum with a creatinine concentration of 69 mumol/L. Results by this method agree well (r greater than 0.99) with those by both the enzymic ultraviolet method of Wahlefeld and the fuller's earth/Jaffé method.

Enzymic ethanol assay: a new colorimetric method based on measurement of hydrogen peroxide.

We describe a new colorimetric method for measuring ethanol in plasma by use of a peroxidase-coupled assay system and alcohol oxidase (EC 1.1.3.13) from Pichia species. Absorptivity is low enough to give useful results without sample dilution. The procedure is also applicable to saliva samples and utilizes only one working reagent. The absorbance of the blue dye that is formed is measured at 60...

Enzymic urea assay: a new colorimetric method based on hydrogen peroxide measurement.

We describe a new enzymic colorimetric method in which urea is measured in serum by use of a single reagent mixture. Ammonia produced by urea hydrolysis, catalyzed by urease, reacts with glutamate and ATP in the presence of glutamine synthetase. The ADP so produced is assayed in reactions catalyzed sequentially by pyruvate kinase and pyruvate oxidase in a system that generates hydrogen peroxide...

Enzymic determination of free fatty acids in serum.

We describe the enzymic determination of free fatty acids in serum with use of acyl-CoA synthetase (EC l.2.1.3), acyl-CoA oxidase (no EC no. assigned) and peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7). The free fatty acids are activated by acyl-CoA synthetase in the presence of ATP and coenzyme A. The acyl-CoA formed is oxidized by acyl-CoA oxidase to enoyl-CoA with simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide, whi...

New ultraviolet (340 nm) method for assay of uric acid in serum or plasma.

We propose a novel enzymatic method for assay of uric acid at 340 nm, which eliminates several disadvantages of both the colorimetric and enzymatic methods now in common use. Here, uric acid is catalytically oxidized to allantoin and hydrogen peroxide. The peroxide is reacted with ethanol in the presence of catalase to form acetaldehyde and water, and the acetaldehyde is reduced by NADH in the ...
