β¦ Synopsis
The preparation of polygalacturonic acid ["Cl-labeled methyl ester (pectic acid ester) is described. This labeled polysaccharide is employed as the substrate in a simple, sensitive, and rapid assay procedure for measuring pectin methyl esterase activity.

A rapid new assay is proposed for analyzing insect juvenile hormone esterase activity. The assay is based on > 99% of radiolabeled juvenile hormone being extracted into an isooctane phase while > 9% of the juvenile hormone acid remains in the basic aqueous-methanol phase. The assay is more rapid and
A highly sensitive and accurate spectrophotometric method was developed for determination of guanase activity with guanine as substrate. The assay is based on the oxidative coupling of 3-methyl-2benzothiazolinone hydrazone and N,Ndiethylaniline. Xanthine formed from guanine by guanase is oxidized to
A spectrophotometric method for the assay of hyaluronidase activity, based on the binding of a carbocyanine dye (l-ethyl-2-[3-( l-ethyl-naphtho[l,M] to undegraded substrate, is described. The binding results in a spectral shift with an absorbance maximum at 640 nm which is propo~ional to the amount
## Abstract Longβchain fatty acid esters of 7β(3,4βdihydroxybutyloxy)β2__H__β1βbenzopyranβ2βone (**6**) such as octanoate **2a** are shown to be exceptionally sensitive and selective fluorogenic substrates for lipases and esterases. Umbelliferone (**8**) is released upon hydrolysis of the ester fun
