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
Improved dye procedure for determining urea concentration by using o-phthalaldehyde and naphthylethylenediamine.
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 high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for measuring picomole quantities of nitrosothiol in biological samples was developed. The assay utilizes the catalytic reduction of nitrosothiol by mercuric cation (Hg2+). Released nitrogen oxide reacts with sulfanilamide (SA) and N-(1-napthyl)ethylenediamine (NNED) to
A sensitive staining method for the detection of oxytocinase (EC 3.4.11.3) activity in electrophoresis gels has been described. The method is based on the enzymatic release of p-nitroaniline (PNA) from two specific synthetic oxytocinase substrates, S-benzyl-L-cysteine-p-nitroanilide (BCN) and L-leucine-p-nitroanilide (LN)
