✦ Synopsis


A method capable of specifically detecting low levels of adenosine triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.17) is given. It is based on conversion of the usual product of the enzyme, Nl-(5'-phospho-D-ribosyl)adenosine triphosphate to ATP, which is detected by luciferase luminescence utilizing a liquid scintillation spectrophotometer. The assay is linear in enzyme concentration down to a lower limit of at least 55 pg enzyme/0.2 ml.

A new method is described for assaying the ATP phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 1.4.2.17) that catalyzes the first step of histidine biosynthesis in bacterial cells. This is a highly sensitive radioassay, capable of detecting fewer than lOy molecules of enzyme. In contrast to the previously available a
