The heat inactivation of esterases in human and rabbit serum was followed at 50 and 55 degrees C by measuring the decrease of activity with paraoxon, phenylacetate and beta-naphthylacetate as substrates. The rate of inactivation measured with the three substrates

Although the occurrence of the taurine conjugation mechanism for various xenobiotic acids is well established, nothing is known of the source of the taurine used for this conjugation. [14C]Taurine was administered alone and in combination with 2-naphthylacetic acid or clofibric
Xenobiotica; the fate of foreign compounds in biological systems, 17(7), 815-821 (1987-07-01)
The patterns of metabolic conjugation of the isomeric 1- and 2-naphthylacetic acids have been compared in guinea pig, mouse, hamster and gerbil. Equimolar doses of [carboxy-14C]1- and 2-naphthylacetic acids were given to these species by i.p. injection, their urine collected
Archives of biochemistry and biophysics, 388(2), 231-236 (2001-05-23)
A simple method useful for the joint evaluation of substrate partitioning and kinetic parameters for reactions catalyzed by enzymes entrapped in reverse micelles is proposed. The method is applied to the hydrolysis of 2-naphthyl acetate (2-NA) catalyzed by lipase in
