We wish to report a new method for the assay of arginase (L-arginine amidinohydrolase, EC 3.5.3.1). Arginase, the terminal enzyme of the urea-ornithine cycle (1)) catalyzes the cleavage of arginine to ornithine and urea. Present assays for arginase determine the released urea either by a calorimetri
