## Abstract A new type of fluorescence assay for the determination of peroxidase (POx) activity is presented. The assay is based on the indication of the enzymatic consumption of H~2~O~2~ (HP), using a fluorescent europiumβtetracycline (Eu~3~TC) complex as indicator. On addition of HP, this complex
DNA analysis of a male propositus with ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency documented an A-to-C substitution in position +4 of intron 1. No other abnormalities were observed in the OTC gene, or at 563 bp upstream of the 5' site, which included a promoter region, or at 383 bp downstream of th
