A method for branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase is described which is based on running the reaction in the reverse of the usual direction with glutamate and r\*-ketoisocaproate as substrates. The cY-ketoglutarate generated is reduced with glutamate dehydrogenase and NADH. For sensitivity in

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes for the cytosolic and mitochondrial branched-chain amino-acid aminotransferases (BCAT) were isolated recently. These genes show significant homology to mammalian ECA39, originally isolated as a gene regulated by the c-myc oncogene. We now report the isolation of th
A simple and specific method with bacterial o-amino acid:pyruvate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase has been reported for the determination of L-alanine. This method involves a transamination of L-alanine with sulfoacetaldehyde to produce pyruvate and the spectrometric determination of this
A spectrophotometric endpoint assay for determination of branched-chain cu-keto acids is described. The assay depends on measurement of the NADH produced after addition of branched-chain cY-keto acid dehydrogenase. Interference by pyruvate and cy-ketobutyrate was eliminated by pretreating the sample
