✦ Synopsis

A simple, specific, and reliable method has been developed for the determination of L-lysine in blood plasma and tissue. The L-lysine in the sample is decarboxylated enzymatically, and fluorescamine is added to a pentan-1-ol extract of the cadaverine formed. This produces a stable product which is measured fluorometrically.

A specific enzymatic method was developed for the determinations of L-omithine and L-A'-pyrroline-S-carboxylate using two coupling enzymes, omithine aminotransferase and A\*-pyrroline-Scarboxylate reductase. Using this method, omithine in rat tissues and human serum could be determined at the nanomo
