โœฆ Synopsis


Use of a convenient and inexpensive apparatus for trapping 14CO2 from biological reactions in small volumes is described. Alternative scintillants for estimating "CO2 trapped in KOH are compared, toluene methoxyethanol (2:1) based scintillants and Instagel (TM-Packard) were efficient and more stable than the dioxane/Cab-O-Sil or toluene/Triton X-100 mixtures usually used. The usefulness of the technique is illustrated with microassays of OM P decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.23), OMP pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.10) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
