Tyrosine hydroxylase can be measured by release of tritiated water from labeled tyrosine, and the assay method has now been modified to allow recovery of 3H2O from the reaction mixture in a much more rapid and less tedious manner than previously possible. In the new method, the tyrosine hydroxylase
A simple, rapid, and sensitive fluorometric assay for measuring the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase is described. The enzyme activity is detected by converting tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa), which is then subjected to conversion to the highly fluorescent product by the trihydroxyind
An assay is reported for prolyl 3-hydroxylase activity. The method is based on the release of tritiated water (THO) during 3-hydroxylation of a 2,3-T-~proline-labeled (T = tritium) polypeptide substrate in which all prolyl residues recog nized by prolyl 4-hydroxylase have been converted to 4-hydroxy
The enzymic reduction of isotopically labeled folic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid (H,-folate) employing folic acid reductase extracted from chicken liver has been previously reported from this laboratory (1, 2). Using high specific activity tritiated folic acid (5 to 25 c/mmole) the reduction of subs
