A simple spectrophotometric method for a rapid determination of tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) is described. The basis of the assay is the incubation of the enzyme with L-dopa in the presence of an optimal concentration of Zn2+ ions and the measurement of the formation of melanochrome, as indicated by th

A sensitive, rapid, quantitative method for the determination of the activities of the bifunctional frog epidermis enzyme, tyrosinase (E.C. 1.14.18. l), has been developed. It is a spectrophotometric method using p-coumaric acid and caffeic acid as substrates at pH 7.0. Lineweaver-Burk plots yielded
A new spectrophotometric assay method of xanthine oxidase applicable to the crude tissue homogenate containing uricase was presented in this paper. By adding potassium 2,4-dihydroxy-6-carboxy-1,3,5-triazine (potassium oxonate) (0.1 mM) to the crude xanthine oxidase reaction system, uric acid was sto
A continuous spectrophotometric method for the rapid determination of diphenolase activity of tyrosinase is described. It uses 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid (DOMA) as the substrate of tyrosinase and measures the final product, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (DOBA). The spectrum of this product shows a batho
By use of a more sensitive method than standard assays, it is demonstrated that alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity can be monitored continuously in rat liver mitochondria; maximum activity was obtained by sonication in the presence of Triton X-100. Vitamin K3 (menadione) seems to enhance
