A sensitive radiochemical assay is described for the assay ofacetoacetyl-CoA synthetase activity in cytosolic extracts. Enzyme activity is measured by the incorporation of '% from acetoacetate into acetyl camitine as mediated by acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase, endogenous acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, and ex

A simple and sensitive radiochemical procedure to assay argininosuccinate synthetase activity in crude tissue homogenates and lysates of cultured cells is described. The new method depends on the location of 14C, uniformly, in the four carbons of aspartate. On incubation in the presence of excess of
Prostaglandin H synthetase (PGH synthetase) has been purified to homogeneity from sheep vesicular glands. The pure enzyme has a specific activity of about 40 @.I of arachidonic acid consumed per minute per milligram of protein, which corresponds to a turnover number of 2800 mitt-' per subunit. The p
We developed an assay for aminopeptidase \(\mathrm{N}\) (AmN) in which substrate, Arg-Phe- \(\left[{ }^{3} \mathrm{H}\right]\) anilide \((24.9 \mathrm{Ci} /\) mmol), can be used at concentrations ( \(1-200 \mathrm{nM}\) ) well below \(K_{m}(12 \mu \mathrm{M})\) and at or below enzyme concentration (
