A procedure for the determination of activity and linkage specificity of sialidases is deseribed. The sialoglycoprotein fetuin is coated onto a microtiter plate and incubated with sialidases from different sources. Enzymatic activities and linkage specificities are then determined by a sandwich meth

β¦ Synopsis
Incorporation of borate anion allows the agglutination activity of a lectin to be observed even in the presence of the specific sugar. This simple, convenient procedure worked successfully with five different lectins with different sugar specificities.

Lectin activity in a toxic (Cape Verde) and non-toxic (Mexico) variety of Jatropha curcas seed meal was investigated using latex agglutination and haemagglutination assays. Lectin activity expressed as reciprocal of the minimum quantity (in mg) of Jatropha meal per ml of the assay mixture which prod
A highly sensitive ATP bioluminescence assay with diethylaminoethyl-dextran (DEAE-Dx) in the presence of ATP extractants such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and Triton X-100 is described. These ATP extractants inhibited the activity of firefly luciferase, resulting in a remarkable decrease in the int
