p-Aminophenyl-P-D-galactopyranoside (PAPG) was shown to be a suitable substrate for the amperometric detection of galactosidase activity at neutral pH. The application of this amplification system for immunoassay was demonstrated. The product of the enzyme reaction, p-aminophenol (PAP), was detected

✦ Synopsis
b-Galactosidase was incubated for 60 min with the fluorogenic substrate resorufin-b-D-galactopyranoside, which is converted by the action of the enzyme into resorufin and galactose. A 160 pL aliquot of reaction mixture was analyzed by capillary electrophoresis utilizing laser-induced fluorescence detection. Based on the detection of the resorufin formed, the limit of detection of b-galactosidase was 1.5 Â 10 À15 M or 900 molecules of enzyme in a 1 mL sample.
