Galactosyltransferase catalyzes transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to glucose or N-acetylglucosamine with resultant formation of galactosides and UDP. In this new assay galactosyltransferase activity is measured by determining UDP by isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography on an amino

โฆ Synopsis
Commercial preparations of bovine cardiolipin (diphosphatidylglyceroi) in chloroform solution contain substantial amounts of oxidation products. These oxidized derivatives, characterized by the presence of varying amounts of hydroperoxides and conjugated diem, can be separated from unoxidized cardiofipin by normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using UV detection. When purified cardiolipin is subjected to autoxidation in aqueous media, oxidation products of similar I-IPLC properties are produced. Storage of cardiolipin in chloroform induces both autoxidation and hydrolysis whereas storage in ethanol and other solvents does not. It is recommended not to use chloroform for the long-term storage of cardiofipin.
