✦ Synopsis

A general radiochemical method for estimating the activity of amino acid decarboxylases is reported. This method utilizes ion-exchange cartridges to separate unreacted radiolabeled amino acid substrates from product amines, which can then readily be quantitated by liquid scintillation counting. The assay is simple, rapid, and more sensitive than standard 14CO2 trapping procedures if uniformly labeled amino acid substrates are utilized. Acidic, basic, and aromatic amino acid decarboxylases can be assayed with the appropriate choice of cation or anion exchangers. The utility of the method is demonstrated for aspartate-alpha-decarboxylase, tyrosine decarboxylase, and lysine decarboxylase where kinetic parameters are comparable to values obtained by standard radiochemical 14CO2 trapping assays.

## Abstract This paper deals with studies on the use of Zn(II)‐L‐ornithine complex as a chiral selecting system for the enantioseparation and UV detection of amino acids (AAs) by using the principle of ligand‐exchange CE. Successful enantioseparation of three pairs of label‐free aromatic AAs and fo
