A modification of the original microdistillation assay for lysyl oxidase is described in which Amicon C-10 microconcentrators are used to separate, by ultrafiltration, the 3H-labeled products released from a [4,5-3H]-lysine-labeled elastin substrate. Enzyme activity is determined by scintillation co

Lysyl oxidase catalyzes the final known enzymatic step required for collagen and elastin cross-linking in the biosynthesis of normal mature functional insoluble extracellular matrices. In addition, lysyl oxidase has been identified as a possible tumor suppressor. Lysyl oxidase activity in biological
Assays for endonuclease and ligase activities have been devised that make use of the fact that circular phage A DNA is preferentially retained on nitrocellulose filters while linear ADNA is not. The assay is rapid, time dependent, and quantitative and has been used for the purification of restrictio
A simple, efficient, and rapid procedure for the purification of lysyl oxidase is described. This method utilizes an affinity scheme involving powdered elastin-hydroxyethylmethacrylate hydrogels and high-performance liquid chromatography and permits the study of enzyme from sources which contain lim
