A rapid and sensitive enzymatic assay for measuring picomole quantities of both acetylcholine (ACh) and choline (Ch) in tissue extracts has been developed. After ACh and Ch were extracted into 15% 1 N formic acid/85% acetone by the procedure of Toru and Aprison, lipids were removed by a heptane-chlo

A method is described for the analysis of GTP/GDP, or GDP alone, in a coupled enzymatic assay. Samples are pretreated with creatine kinase in the presence of phosphocreatine to remove the ADP present. Succinyl CoA synthetase is used to convert GTP to GDP in the presence of succinate and coenzyme A.
