✦ Synopsis

A continuous spectrophotometric assay for pantetheinase determination using S-pantetheine-3-pyruvate as substrate is described. The enzymatic hydrolysis of this new substrate leads to the formation of S-cysteamine-3-pyruvate, which cyclizes in a non-rate-limiting step to give 2H-1 +thiazin-5,6dihydro-3-carboxylic acid (aminoethylcysteine ketimine), a compound exhibiting a strong absorption at 296 nm. The assay is optimized with respect to pH, buffer, and substrate concentration. Prereduction of the enzyme and some properties of the reaction are also studied. The assay is simple, rapid, very sensitive, and specific. Q 1984 Academic mess, IX

Both adenosine and inosine obey Beer's law to 1.0 mM at 265 nm and pH 7.4 at 25°C. Murphy et al. ( 1) claimed serious deviation from Beer's law above 200 CM for both substances, and concluded that the assay of adenosine deaminase activity based on recording spectrophotometric change at 265 nm as ori
