✦ Synopsis
A simple micromethod was developed for the accurate measurement of the activity of uridine phosphorylase in the direction of both ribosylation and phosphorolysis. The technique was applicable also to the measurement of cytoplasmic Y-nucleotidase. In this micromethod the radioactive products were separated from the substrates by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate membrane in 0.1 M borate buffer, pH 9.0, at 150 V for 40 min. These micromethods are highly sensitive and capable of utilizing small samples (4-30 pg protein); they are valid in crude tissue extracts of rat liver and hepatoma.
