Determination of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activity by coupling of oxalacetate with diazonium salts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for measuring serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activity is described, in which substrate concentrations are more nearly optimal than in previous colonmetric methods. By coupling the diazonium salt at a pH of 4.2, interference from a-oxoglutarate is negligible. Oxalacetate is produced at a linear rate to 180 l.U. Results correlate well with those obtained by a reference spectrophotometric method.

‘THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT of a new colorimetric procedure (TransAc*), for the determination of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase utilizing the diazonium salt, 6-benzamido-4-methoxy-m-toluidine diazonium chloride, as the color developer with a specificity for oxalacetic acid, prompted the following experiments. Determination of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase activities were performed accord...
