We wish to report a new method for the assay of arginase (L-arginine amidinohydrolase, EC 3.5.3.1). Arginase, the terminal enzyme of the urea-ornithine cycle (1)) catalyzes the cleavage of arginine to ornithine and urea. Present assays for arginase determine the released urea either by a calorimetri

A new assay procedure for the determination of collagenolytic activity is presented. The substrate can be prepared by simple reduction of the purified acidsoluble rat tail tendon collagen with NaB3H4. Collagenase activity is determined by measurement of soluble tritiated collagen peptides released.
A rapid method for detection of demethiolating activity in bacterial suspensions is described. The procedure is based on spectrophotometric determination of aryl mercaptan produced by quantitative reaction of 5,5'-dithiobis(2nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) with liberating methanethiol.
