Factors affecting determination of delta-aminolevulinate by use of Ehrlich's reagent.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the formation of delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-pyrrole and subsequent color development used in determining ALA in urine. Of three condensation reagents examined--acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, and methyl acetoacetate--the last was the best. When the ALA-pyrrole is reacted with Ehrlich's reagent in ethyl acetate according to one procedure, the optimum concentration of perchloric acid in the reagent is 0.5 to 1.0 mol/L. Its optimum concentration is 1.0 to 2.3 mol/L when the reaction takes place in water.

An Improved Method for the Simple and Accurate Colorimetric Determination of Urea with Ehrlich's Reagent.
An improved method for the colorimetric determination of urea is described. The method is simple, requiring a deproteinized filtrate obtained after treatment of a small quantity of whole oxalated blood, serum, plasma or urine with 12.5% trichloracetic acid containing 50 g. activated carbon. The addition of Ehrlich's reagent to this filtrate results in the immediate production of a stable yellow...
متن کاملStudies on the oxidation of indole-3-acetic Acid by peroxidase enzymes. I. Colorimetric determination of indole-3-acetic Acid oxidation products.
The method described here is based on a brief report by Harley-Mason and Archer. It involves the use of p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMACA), a vinylogue of Ehrlich's reagent, as a color reagent for indoles. Colorimetric analyses of indoleacetic acid (IAA) oxidation reaction mixtures were made with the DMACA reagent as a solution rather than a spray. DMACA reagent will yield a wine-red color w...
متن کاملMutant strains of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides lacking delta-aminolevulinate synthase: growth, heme, and bacteriochlorophyll synthesis.
Two mutant strains of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides were described which lacked delta-aminolevulinate synthase activity. They required delta-aminolevulinate for growth; they did not respond to protoporphyrin or magnesium photoporphyrin, and only poorly to hemin. Synthesis of cytochromes and heme by mutant H-4 was dependent upon delta-aminolevulinate; this strain did not form bacteriochlorophyll e...
متن کاملThe Photoelectric Determination of Indole in Bacterial Cultures.
Many colorimetric tests for indole have been described since Gnezda (1899) first described the oxalic acid test. These have been ably discussed and compared by Fellers and Clough in 1925, together with a very complete bibliography. They concluded, as a result of comparative studies, that the Ehrlich test (1901) was the most accurate, reliable and simple for indole and skatole when unmixed. The ...
متن کاملA colorimetric method for the determination of glucosamine and chondrosamine.
A COLORIMETRIC method for the determination of glucosamine has recently been described by Zuckerkandl and Messiner-Klebermass [1931]. According to their procedure the test-solution, which should contain between 1 and 4 mg. glucosamine hydrochloride, is evaporated to dryness and treated with a freshly prepared solution of sodium methoxide. The free glucosamine base is then cautiously acetylated ...
