β¦ Synopsis
A sensitive, quantitative assay for phosphenolpyruvate carboxylase which utilizes microtiter plates is described. The assay depends upon the production of a colored compound in the reaction between oxaloacetate, the product of the phosphoenolpyruvate reaction, and the dye Fast Violet B. The method is particularly appropriate for monitoring chromatographic eluates and its utility for this purpose is demonstrated by the detection of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in fractions of crude maize extract separated by size-exclusion chromatography.

## Abstract A microtiter plate (MTP) method was developed to determine the quality of fats that are used in largeβscale processing using lipase catalysis. Two assay formats were followed: In the first approach, the fats were interesterified with __p__βnitrophenol laurate using a lipase from __Therm
