Double-osmotic-shock procedure to prepare gentamicin adenine mononucleotide transferase for the enzymatic assay of gentamicin.
The release of gentamicin adenine mononucleotide transferase during single, cold, osmotic-shock treatment of Escherichia coli K-12 W677/HJR66 is not always maximal. The quantity of gentamicin adenine mononucleotide transferase in osmotic extracts could be significantly increased when a double-shock procedure was performed.
متن کاملRapid gentamicin assay by enzymatic adenylylation.
A method is described for the assay of gentamicin using the enzyme gentamicin adenylyltransferase derived from an R-factor-carrying strain of Escherichia coli. The reaction involves adenylylation of the gentamicin with ((14)C)-ATP to form a radioactively labelled product. The technique is compared with the plate diffusion and the urease methods. The adenylylation technique gives results compara...
متن کاملAn enzymatic radioassay for gentamicin.
An enzymatic, radiochemical assay procedure for measuring serum gentamicin by use of gentamicin 3-acetyl-transferase and [acetyl-14C]acetyl-Coenzyme A is described and evaluated. The enzyme stoichiometrically and quantitatively transfers a radioactive label to the analyte during a 10-min incubation at 37 degrees C. The labeled gentamicin is then absorbed onto phosphocellulose paper discs, which...
متن کاملA spectrophotometric assay for gentamicin.
A rapid and accurate spectrophotometric assay has been developed for the determination of blood werum levels of gentamicin and related antibiotics. The assay uses a purified enzyme from Escherichia coli JR88/C600 that acetylates gentamicin with the production of coenzyme A, linked to a chemical reaction with a sulfhydryl reagent to produce stoichiometric amounts of a sensitive chromophore, moni...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Bactec serum gentamicin assay.
A radiometric assay for gentamicin was compared with an established radioimmunoassay protocol. The coefficients of variation for within-run, day-to-day, and overall runs were consistently higher for the radiometric method as compared with the radioimmunoassay. The coefficient of correlation for 84 patient sera tested by the two methods for gentamicin levels was 0.82. Though less precise, the ra...
