โฆ Synopsis
A continuous spectrophotometric assay for glucose 6-phosphatase is described. The method uses glucose dehydrogenase and mutarotase as ancillary enzymes. Glucose 6-phosphatase activity is measured by following NADH formation at 340 nm. The method is linear, at least up to 38 mU in the test which corresponds to a AE of 0.24 mini', when the enzyme is assayed in a microsomal fraction. We also discuss the method's suitability for subcellular fractionation. No other continuous assay for this important enzymatic marker of the endoplasmic reticulum is currently available.

A sensitive and rapid spectrophotometric method for determination of glucose-6-phosphatase activity is described. Glucose formed by the enzyme is oxidized by glucose oxidase to gluconolactone and hydrogen peroxide. The latter, phenol, and 4-aminoantipyrine are converted by peroxidase to quinoneimine
We have developed a continuous spectrophotometric coupled-enzyme assay for sulfotransferase activity. This assay is based on the regeneration of 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphosulfate (PAPS) from the desulfated 3-phosphoadenosine-5-phosphate (PAP) by a recombinant aryl sulfotransferase using p-nitrophe
Kinetic investigations on adenosine deaminase from calf intestinal mucosa by spectrophotometric monitoring of the reaction at 264, 270, or 228 nm show that this method does not produce artifactual inhibition by substrate excess up to 0.7 mM concentration, when either adenosine or 2'-deoxyadenosine a
