A radiochemical reverse-phase-high-performance liquid chromatography-linked method to measure the activity of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.12) in crude lysates of human red blood cells is described. The apparent Km for nicotinamide was in the micromolar range, much lower than tha

✦ Synopsis
A method for the measurement of erythrocyte 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PP-ribose-P) using HPLC is described. lnosinic acid formed from the enzyme-catalyzed reaction of hypoxanthine and PP-ribose-P using partially purified hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase is measured after chromatography on an ion-exchange column (Partisil 10 SAX). The average recovery of PP-ribose-P added to erythrocytes was 96.6%. Normal values found were 1.3 + 0.6 nmol PP-ribose-P/ml packed RBC (20 individuals). Replication experiments gave a coefficient of variation of 4.4%. Elevated levels in the range 4.4-7.9 nmol PP-ribose-P/ml packed RBC were found in four patients with gout and partial deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase. o 1987 Academic press.
