โฆ Synopsis
The use of [14C]aspartate of high specific activity and thin-layer chromatography on polyethyleneimine cellulose for the separation of carbamoyl aspartate from aspartate has enabled the measurement of aspartate carbamoyltransferase and carbamoyl phosphate synthase activities and carbamoyl phosphate concentrations in extracts from Escherichia coli. The assay method described is sensitive to the formation of about 1 pmol of carbamoyl aspartate.

A method has been developed for the assay of amylomaltase based on the incorporation of a [14C]glucose moiety of uniformly 14C-labeled maltose into a maltodextrin fraction insoluble in aqueous ethanol. The presence of dextrin at a high concentration greatly enhances [14C]glucose incorporation and se
Alkaline phosphatase hydrolyzes riboflavin 4'-phosphate to produce riboflavin. This is converted to riboflavin 5'-phosphate, using riboflavin kinase, which reconstitutes apoglycolate oxidase to give hologlycolate oxidase. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of glycolate with simultaneous production
