A method is described for the assay of sulfotransferases, which transfer sulfate from 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to glycosaminoglycan acceptors. Following the sulfation reactions, the [35S]sulfate-labeled products are precipitated and then separated from a sulfate donor ([35S]PAPS)

✦ Synopsis
A DE filter disk technique for assaying the activity of nucleotidase is described. This method is based on the observation that nucleotides bind to the filters at 5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8) while nucleosides do not. As parameter for the nucleotidase activity the decrease of bound nucleotides is determined. In parallel experiments the amount of the product (nucleoside) formed can be measured by DEAE Sephadex column chromatography. The filter disk technique can be applied for the determination of vmax and Km of a nucleotidase by using different ribonucleosidase monophosphate substrates.

The preparation and use of prepunched and preprinted sheets of filter paper disks for radioassay of protein synthesis and other reactions is described. While similar results are obtained using precut paper circles, the use of a sheet of disks greatly expedites the process and simplifies the handling
