An assay based on the oxidation of NADPH during the enzymatic conversion of nitrate to nitrite by Aspergillus nitrate reductase [EC 1.6.6.2.] was developed for specific quantification of nitrate. This spectrophotometric method was used to measure nitrate present in human urine, human serum, and tiss

is useful, but inexpedient, for measuring thyroid peroxidase activity
(1) and recently the enzyme was assayed by a colorimet.ric guaiacol method (2). This report describes a rapid, sensitive spectrophotometric assay with the nat.ural substrate, iodide ion, rather than an artificial hydrogen donor.
Peroxidase catalyzes the formation of I, as depicted in Eq. ( 1) and periodide formation is then instantaneous (Eq. 2), when there is an iodide 2 KI + H?Oz peroxidasr I?+L)KOH IzfKI % KII (2)

A spectrophotometric method for determining the concentrations of various iodine compounds (I -: initial compound, I 3 -: under-oxidized iodine form, I 2 and I 2 Cl -: target iodine forms and ICl 2 -: over-oxidized iodine form) in their joint presence has been developed in order to study iodine proc
The effects of various parameters on Phanerochaete chrysosporium lignin peroxidase activity as obtained in ligninase assay based on the oxidation of veratryl alcohol were investigated. Marked differences in the ligninase activity were observed when the temperature and pH were varied within the range
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) defects, typically transmitted as autosomal recessive traits, result in hypothyroid goiters with failure to convert iodide into organic iodine. We analyzed the TPO gene in 14 unrelated patients with clinical evidence of iodide organification defects. Seven of the affected in
