The new assay uses as substrate a peptide derived from the amino terminal domain of calf histone H4. The peptide contains all the lysines that are acetylated in H4 in vivo and these lysines are specifically labeled in vitro with acetic anhydride to a high specific activity. This substrate allows his
Sensitive fluorogenic substrates for trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase were prepared. These substrates are amides of an acyl amino acid or peptide with 7-amino-4-methyicoumarin (AMC). The substrates with their respective K,,,/K, ratios given in parentheses are: for chymotrypsin, glutaryl-Phe-AMC (
The use o f 6-(N-acetyl-~-phenylalanyl)-aminoluciferin as a novel substrate for achymotrypsin has been demonstrated. The kinetic parameters determined are K M = 0.38 mmol/L, kcat = 6.5 s-' and kcat/kM = 17,100 (L/mol s). The test principle o f the coupled assay is the release o f aminoluciferin by e
Allantoin is separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and sprayed with an acidic solution ofp-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. The yellow color produced is read in a densitometer and compared with that of a standard. The lower limit of quantitation is 0.1 ~g per spot (0.5 mg/100 ml). The method can be
