โฆ Synopsis
has allowed the development of a manual assay for inorganic phosphate of high simplicity and sensitivity. Total analysis requires only three reagents and is accomplished in less than 5 min, and samples containing less than 1 &ml of inorganic phosphate may be detected. This assay retains a unique principle of the former two, complexation (instead of reduction) of the phosphomolybdate heteropoly complex with an appropriate triphenylmethane dye (malachite green, methyl green). Use of detergents has been eliminated and some further properties of the dyes, the assay, and the latter's applicability to a coupled enzyme system for phosphomonoester and phosphodiester analysis are discussed. Consideration is also given to the associated phenomena of transphosphorylation. (

A calorimetric assay for the determination of nanomole amounts of inorganic phosphate is described. The procedure combines a very high molar extinction with color stability and insensitivity to newly released phosphate from labile organophosphates.
