Fluorometry of plasma amino nitrogen, with use of fluorescamine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a fluorometric procedure, with use of fluorescamine, for determining plasma amino nitrogen in a 10-mul sample of deproteinized plasma. Values for apparently healthy human subjects agree well with those obtained by spectrophotometry. The simplicity and speed of the assay recommends it as a screening procedure for detecting aminoacidopathies.

Interaction of a fluorescent analogue of GDP with elongation factor Tu: steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies.
A fluorescent derivative of GDP was prepared by the reaction of 2'-amino-2'-deoxy-GDP with fluorescamine. This derivative binds tightly (KD approximately 4.5 X 10(-8) M) to elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) from Escherichia coli. The emission properties, including spectra, polarizations, and lifetimes, for fluorescamine-GDP free in solution and bound to EF-Tu are presented. Emission data on the fluo...
متن کاملPrimary amines in California coastal waters: Utilization by phytoplankton
A new reagent, fluorescamine, provides a simple, rapid fluorometric measurement of primary amino compounds in seawater. The reagent detects as little as 0.2 r.lM (glycine equivalents) directly in 2 ml of seawater. Fluorescamine-positive primary amines in the region of Newport Bay, California, range from about 0.3 PM in nearshore waters to 14 PM in bay sediments. About half the fluorescamine-pos...
متن کاملUSE OF ORGANIC SOLVENTS FOR THE ENHANCEMENT AND LIFETIME INCREASING OF LUMINESCENCE IN FLUORIMETRIC APPLICATION BY FLUORESCAMINE
In this study, the fluorogenic efficiency of fluorescamine for spectrofluorimetric analysis of primary amines was investigated. Different mixtures of dichloromethane and other organic solvents were used for evaluation of fluorescence stability and intensity of fluorescamine derivative (Pyrrolinone). Solvents such as acetonitrile (ACN), tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dioxane increase stability an...
متن کاملNitrogen-to-protein conversion factors in animal feed and fecal samples.
Nitrogen-to-protein conversion factors were calculated for diets and fecal samples from three animal species fed low- or high-fiber diets. The conversion factors based on protein contents determined by amino acid analyses were calculated from total N (Kjeldahl analyses) and recovered amino acid plus NH3-N (amino acid analyses). Conversion factors based on protein contents determined by a fluore...
متن کاملUse of a rapid and highly sensitive fluorescamine-
A rapid and sensitive method for determining protein concentrations using fluorescamine has been characterized for use in the analysis of intact lipoproteins. It was shown that there is no interference with the assay due to the presence of lipid-associated turbidity or primary amine content. The assay was shown to be sensitive to as little as 0.3 p g of lipoprotein and to yield similar results ...
