5-aminolevulanic acid (ALA), belonging among the promising second generation of sensitizers, was evaluated as an inducer of photodamage on HeLa (human cervical adenocarcinoma) cell line. A diode laser (635 nm) was used as a source for initiation of the photodynamic effect. We studied the influence o
&Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthetase activities in the range of 0.1 to 100 U/ml of enzyme are routinely assayed using a modified Beckman Model 121 amino acid analyzer. This method reproducibly and specifically quantitates [Wlaminolevulinate from a mixture of [Wlsuccinate metabolites known to interf
