A method is described for the assay of histone methyltransferase using soluble histones as substrate. The precipitation of the methylated protein on chromatography paper allows for greater sensitivity and more rapid sample processing than have previously been reported. After incubation of the enzyme

A nonisotopic assay for acetylserotonin methyltransferase (ASMT) was devised. Melatonin, the product of the enzyme reaction, is measured fluorometrically after its reaction with o-phthaldialdehyde (OPT). The reaction of melatonin with OPT is carried out in 1 N HCI to suppress the reaction of N-acety
A new assay technique for catechol-0-methyltransferase is described. 3,4-Dihydroxyacetophenone is used as the substrate for the assay and the products, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone are detected spectrophotometrically at 344 nm in borate buffer, pH 10.0. This sp
