S-nitrosothiols have been shown to affect a number of physiological functions. Several techniques have been used to detect these species in biological systems, primarily by methods utilizing chemiluminescence. Since the apparatus required for measurement of chemiluminescence are not readily available

A simple spectrophotometric assay has been developed for determining concentrations of the new cardioprotective agent, acadesine (AICA-riboside), in human plasma. The method is adapted from the Bratton-Marshall (BMA) procedure for detection of primary aromatic amines. The assay was developed to
A novel flow-injection spectrophotometry has been developed for the determination of molybdenum(VI) at nanograms per milliliter levels. The method is based on the catalytic effect of molybdenum(VI) on the bromate oxidative coupling of p-hydrazinobenzenesulfonic acid with N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine to form an
The Bratton-Marshall reaction can be used to identify patients with adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency. These patients excrete in their urine the dephosphorylated derivative of the de novo purine synthesis intermediate 5'-phosphoribosyl-4-(N-succinylcarboxamide)-5-aminoimidazole (SAICAR). The test described here depends on a coupling reaction
