✦ Synopsis
Conditions are described for a capillary zone electrophoresis-based assay of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, the first enzyme in the de novo synthesis for (\alpha)-glucan synthesis in plants and bacteria. ATP, ADPglucose, and other adenine derivatives are effectively resolved and quantified in (12 \mathrm{~min}) of electrophoresis. The method requires minimal sample manipulations and no postincubation hydrolyses, is effective over a wide range of enzyme and substrate concentrations, has a sensitivity comparable to radioisotope assays, and yields reproducible results in either the forward and reverse directions. Moreover, the assay is applicable to other enzymes that utilize nucleosides or their bases as substrates or products. ce 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
