A new assay technique for catechol-0-methyltransferase is described. 3,4-Dihydroxyacetophenone is used as the substrate for the assay and the products, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone are detected spectrophotometrically at 344 nm in borate buffer, pH 10.0. This sp

Published assays for phosphopentomutase activity are based on acid lability differences between ribose l-phosphate and ribose S-phosphate. The present work describes a new method in which the isomerization of ribose 5-phosphate to ribose l-phosphate is followed spectrophotometrically at 265 nm by co
The development of a coupled enzyme assay for the determination of isopenicilhn N synthetase activity in purified extracts from Cephalosporium acremonium was described. Isopenicillin N formed from its precursor, 8-(t-cr-aminoadipyl)-t-cysteinyl-o-valine (ACV), by the synthetase was hydrolyzed by @-l
