A rapid sensitive method for the quantification of in vitro HIV-protease activity has been developed on the basis of the endoproteolytic conversion of N-Dns-SQ-NYPIV to N-Dns-SQNY. The use of the N-dansyl group as a fluorescence label was shown to not significantly alter the apparent kinetic paramet

A rapid and sensitive method for the determination of peptidyl alpha-amidation activity has been developed and is based on reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic separation and fluorometric detection. A dansylated tripeptide, N-dansyl-Tyr-Val-Gly-OH, is used as the substrate in the as
A rapid, sensitive method for the quantification of glutaminyl cyclase activity has been developed. The assay involves enzymatic conversion of the model peptide Gln-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Lys-epsilon-(Dns)-OH to less than Glu-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Lys-epsilon-(Dns)-OH. Both the product and substrate of this reac
In many peptide hormones and neuropeptides, the carboxy-terminal alpha-amide structure is essential in eliciting biological activity. In the present study, a rapid and sensitive assay method for the determination of peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) activity has been reported. This
Nitric oxide (NO), formed from arginine by a specific neuronal NO synthase, is an important neurotransmitter in various regions of the central nervous system. While intracerebral microdialysis is an elegant technique to study local extracellular neurotransmitter concentrations in vivo, NO metabolite
A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method that uses an on-line change in the protonation state of the nonfluorescent product to yield a fluorescent derivative that is detected by fluorometry was developed for the determination of 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity. Tissue samples (
