A new fluorogenic acceptor for sialyltransferase, 2-[(2-pyridyl)amino]ethyl O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1----4)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, was prepared from lactose as a starting material. Sialyltransferase activity was assayed by incubation of the enzyme with the acceptor and CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid, separation of the fluorogenic sialylated product from the enzymatic reaction mixture by HPLC, and measurement of the product. Compared to assays so far reported that use radioactive substrates, this assay is simple and rapid. This method was used to assay sialyltransferase activity in human serum. 相似文献

A method and instrument for automated DNA sequencing without radioactivity have been developed. In spite of the success with radioactive labels there are drawbacks attached to the technique, such as hazards in the handling, storage and disposal of radioactive materials, and the considerable cost of the radiolabelled nucleoside triphosphates. In addition, there is deterioration of sample quality with time. A sulphydryl containing M13 sequencing primer has been synthesised and subsequently conjugated with tetramethylrhodamine iodoacetamide. The fluorescent primer is used to generate a nested set of fluorescent DNA fragments. The fluorescent bands are excited by a laser and detected in the gel (detection limit about 0.1 fmol per band) during electrophoresis, and sequence data from the four tracks are transferred directly into a computer. Standard gels, 200 mm wide with 20 sample slots have also been used. The device contains no moving parts. At present 250-300 bases can be read in 6 h. The system is capable of single base resolution at a fragment length of at least 400 bases. 相似文献

Coproporphyrinogen oxidase, the sixth enzyme in the biosynthetic heme pathway, catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX. A reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography method was developed to measure coproporphyrinogen oxidase enzymatic activity in rat liver. With this method, the separation, identification and quantification of coproporphyrin III (oxidized substrate) and protoporphyrin IX (oxidized product) present in the assays could be carried out with no need of derivatization and in less than 15 min. Rat and human liver coproporphyrinogen oxidase basal activities determined using this method were 0.41+/-0.05 nmol of protoporphyrin IX/h per mg of hepatic protein and 0.87+/-0.06 protoporphyrin IX/h per mg of hepatic protein, respectively. Kinetic studies showed that optimum pH for rat CPGox is 7.3, and that its activity is linear in the range of protein concentrations and incubation times assayed. The present paper describes a sensitive, specific and rapid fluorometric high performance liquid chromatography method to measure coproporphyrinogen oxidase, which could be applied to the diagnosis of human coproporphyria, and which is also suitable for the study of lead and other metal poisoning that produce alterations in this enzymatic activity. 相似文献

A simple chemical method for the synthesis of non-radioactive DNA probes is described: triazolyl-containing sequences were built by incorporation of 4-triazolylpyrimidin-2-ones instead of cytidines during oligodeoxyribonucleotide synthesis. The activating triazolyl groups were then displaced by a diamine which was further derivatized by a label, such as biotin. Synthesized DNA probes were oligonucleotides complementary to a cloned human antithrombin III DNA sequence. These probes, containing the same label at different positions of the sequence, were hybridized to their target DNA immobilized on nitrocellulose. Their hybridization specificity and stability were studied. Hybrid detection was performed either colorimetrically by the streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase-based system or by autoradiography after 5'-32P labeling of the probes: 15 fmol (0.05 microgram) of complementary sequence could be visualized in the two cases. 相似文献

We present a novel method for quantitative RT-PCR that involves direct incorporation of digoxigenin-11-dUTP (DIG-dUTP) during amplification of cDNAs, separation of RT-PCR products by agarose gel electrophoresis, Southern transfer to a nylon membrane, and chemiluminescent detection with an anti-DIG antibody. The whole procedure can be done in about a day and has the following advantages: It is highly sensitive, specificity is confirmed by monitoring the size of the RT-PCR product, it is non-radioactive, quantitative, and does not require expensive specialized equipment. 相似文献

A high performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of moxifloxacin in human saliva was developed. The method involved deproteinisation of the sample with perchloric acid and analysis of the supernatant using a reversed-phase C18 column (150 mm) and fluorescence detection at an excitation wavelength of 290 nm and an emission wavelength of 460 nm. The assay was specific for moxifloxacin and linear from 0.25 to 10.0 μg/ml. The relative standard deviation of intra- and inter-day assays was lower than 10%. The average recovery of moxifloxacin from saliva was 101%. Due to its simplicity, the assay can be used for pharmacokinetic studies of moxifloxacin. 相似文献

Simple and efficient method for enantioselective determination of omeprazole in human plasma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A practical and selective HPLC method for the separation and quantification of omeprazole enantiomers in human plasma is presented. C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges were used to extract the enantiomers from plasma samples and the chiral separation was carried out on a Chiralpak AD column protected with a CN guard column, using ethanol:hexane (70:30) as the mobile phase, at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. The detection was carried out at 302 nm. The method proved to be linear in the range of 10-1000 ng/ml for each enantiomer, with a quantification limit of 5 ng/ml. Precision and accuracy, demonstrated by within-day and between-day assays, were lower than 10%. 相似文献

A simple and rapid high performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of efavirenz in human plasma was developed. The method involved extraction of sample with ethyl acetate and analysis using a reversed-phase C(18) column (150 mm) with UV detection. The assay was linear from 0.0625 to 10.0 microg/ml. The method was specific for efavirenz estimation and the drug was stable in plasma up to one month at -20 degrees C. The average recovery of efavirenz from plasma was 101%. Due to its simplicity, the assay can be used for pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring of efavirenz. 相似文献

We present a simple, non-radioactive assay for DNA methyltransferase activity and DNA binding. As most proteins are studied as GFP fusions in living cells, we used a GFP binding nanobody coupled to agarose beads (GFP nanotrap) for rapid one-step purification. Immobilized GFP fusion proteins were subsequently incubated with different fluorescently labeled DNA substrates. The absolute amounts and molar ratios of GFP fusion proteins and bound DNA substrates were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition to specific DNA binding of GFP fusion proteins, the enzymatic activity of DNA methyltransferases can also be determined by using suicide DNA substrates. These substrates contain the mechanism-based inhibitor 5-aza-dC and lead to irreversible covalent complex formation. We obtained covalent complexes with mammalian DNA methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1), which were resistant to competition with non-labeled canonical DNA substrates, allowing differentiation between methyltransferase activity and DNA binding. By comparison, the Dnmt1C1229W catalytic site mutant showed DNA-binding activity, but no irreversible covalent complex formation. With this assay, we could also confirm the preference of Dnmt1 for hemimethylated CpG sequences. The rapid optical read-out in a multi-well format and the possibility to test several different substrates in direct competition allow rapid characterization of sequence-specific binding and enzymatic activity. 相似文献

The choice of a lipase for an esterification reaction can be determined from the esterification reaction between butyric acid (0.16 M) and butanol (0.33 M) at 50 °C and agitated with 10 mg lipase. The decrease in butyric acid is measured by titration and 1 unit of lipase activity is defined as 1 mol butyric acid consumed per min per mg lipase. 相似文献
