A spectrofluorometric assay for DNA is described. The changes in the fluorescence of adriamycin when it binds to DNA may be quantitated in terms of the amount of DNA present. The assay is specific and reproducible, being free from interference from RNA, protein, and sample turbidity.
L-Amino acid oxidase (LAO; 2 L-amino acid:O 2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.4.3.2) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of L-amino acids to produce the corresponding 2-oxo acids, hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. Many methods have been reported for the determination of LAO activity. They include measurement of o
