A microbiological assay for the quantitative determination of glutathione.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the requirement of a glutathione-deficient mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to take up external glutathione for growth on synthetic media, a simple agar diffusion test for quantitative detection of total glutathione from various sources was established. Glutathione concentrations can be reliably detected in a less expensive way, requiring less technical effort compared to enzymatic or biochemical detection methods.

Comparison of Microbiological and High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Methods for Determination of Clarithromycin Levels in Plasma
An agar well diffusion bioassay method for determination of clarithromycin in human plasma, using Micrococcus Luteus ATCC 9341 as the assay organism, was compared with a selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with UV detection. Spiked plasma was used to prepare standard and control samples for both methods. The results of the bioassay analyses with spiked plasma samples...

متن کاملNew Enzymatic Colorimetric Method for the Quantitative Determination of Phenylalanine in Dry-Blood Spots
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is characterized by severe mental retardation, microcephaly and seizures. The symptoms of this disease can be prevented if detected soon after birth. Therefore, blood Phenylalanine (Phe) measurement is essential for the early diagnosis, treatment and dietary monitoring of PKU patients. The goal of this research was to introduce a r...

A glassy carbon electrode was modified with graphene oxide nanosheets and a hybrid of copper-cobalt hexacyanoferrate. The nanocomposite was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy. Cyclic voltammetry showed a stable and reversible redox pair with surface confined characteristics in phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M, pH 3). Hydrodynamic amperometry was used for...
