A new solid-phase enzyme-linked assay for riboflavin (vitamin B2) is described. The assay is based on the competition between analyte vitamin molecules and a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-3-carboxymethylriboflavin conjugate for a limited number of riboflavin-binding protein sites immobilized on

โฆ Synopsis
The use of two enzyme labels in a dual analyte simultaneous heterogeneous enzyme-linked competitive binding assay is examined. Reaction conditions for monitoring glucosed-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and Pgalactosidase (@gal) activities are found which enable the independent measurement of each enzyme activity in the presence of the other. The two enzymes are used as labels in the development of a model simultaneous heterogeneous competitive binding assay for detecting the biotin and vitamin B,, content of vitamin tablets. The simultaneous assay is shown to exhibit analytical dose-response characteristics comparable to those of the single analyte assays. The potential use of the G6PDHIpgal enzyme pair for devising other dual analyte competitive and non-competitive binding assays is discussed.
