✦ Synopsis
A highly sensitive and rapid method for the determination of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate (1,3-DPG) has been developed. The method is designed to measure 1.3-DPG concentrations as small as 10 nmol/liter of cells. The very high sensitivity of the determination of ATP by the firefly luciferase method [Rasmussen and Nielsen (1968) Acta Chetn. Scud. 22, 1745-1756;Rhee, Greifner, and Chock (1975) Anal. Biochem. 66, 259-2641 was utilized. ATP from the cells was removed with active charcoal, and in a neutralized filtrate 1.3-DPG was quantitatively converted to ATP and 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) by adding ADP and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK). 493

A liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of alpha-tocopherol and tocopherolquinone in human red blood cells is described. Tocopherols in the red cell membrane are very susceptible to oxidation during sample processing. Red cell samples are saponified in the presence of a mi
Several methods were tested for separating the major glycoproteins from other proteins extracted from human red cell membranes by the nondenaturing detergent, Triton X-100. Separation could be achieved by isoelectric focusing, but the intrinsic proteins (predominantly band 3) become irreversibly pre
An improved method for treating human blood samples taken for acetaldehyde analysis is presented. The protein precipitation is performed by instant and thorough mixing of the blood sample in a saline solution of perchloric acid. This procedure effectively reduces the artefactual formation of acetald
