The immunochemical method, microcomplement fixation, was used in the assay of thioredoxin reductase. The method is more sensitive and specific than previously used methods. The enzyme in different tissues of rats was measured.

p-Nitrophenol hydroxylation to p-nitrocatechol is a useful metabolic marker for the presence of functional cytochrome \(P 4502 E 1\) in mammalian cell microsomes, but the assay is limited by the sensitivity of the spectrophotometric method used to monitor p-nitrocatechol formation. In this paper, a
Cytochrome P-450 in whole liver homogenates, which contain an appreciable amount of hemoglobin, is detected by dithionite-difference spectroscopy of CO-bubbled homogenates. The molar extinction difference of cytocrhome P-450 by this method was determined to be 104 mM-'cm-r by comparative observation
