A method for the fluorometric determination of alpha-ketosuccinamic acid, the alpha-keto acid analog of asparagine, is described. The procedure involves the hydrolysis of alpha-ketosuccinamate to oxaloacetate by omega-amidase followed by NADH-dependent reduction of oxaloacetate to malate by malate d

We have developed a sensitive and specific assay for the content of betaine in animal tissues. The method depends on the methylation of homocysteine by YCH,]betaine in the presence of the enzyme betaine:homocysteine methyltransferase. Dilution of the radioactive substrate by the betaine contained in
The successive methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine (phospholipid methylation) has been measured by the incorporation of S-[methyl-3H]adenosylmethionine or colorimetric assay of phosphatidylcholine extracted from adipocyte plasma membranes. A fluorometric assay for phosphat
