A direct UV-VIS spectrophotometric assay has been developed for peptide deformylase. This assay employs a novel class of peptide mimetics as deformylase substrates which, upon enzymatic removal of the Nterminal formyl group, rapidly release free thiols. The released thiols are quantitated using Ellm
A simple spectrophotometric method for estimation of diamine oxidase (DAO) activity was developed, based on a coupled reaction with NADH-dependent alcohol-dehydrogenase. Cystamine, upon DA0 action, is transformed into an aminoaldehyde which reacts quickly and quantitatively with NADH in the presenc
A spectrophotometric assay for ureidoglycolase activity (both ureidoglycolate lyase and hydrolase), based on the reduction of glyoxylate to glycolate catalyzed by glyoxylate reductase or lactate dehydrogenase with the stoichiometric and continuous NADH oxidation, is described. The assay has been opt
