This chapter describes the anatomy of an enzyme assay, focusing on the significance of separation and detection in the assay procedure. A classification of the methods used in the assay of enzymatic activities is developed, using the separation step as the criterion for the grouping. Having placed the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method within this classification, we then exami...

Many different strategies of reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method development are used today. This paper describes a strategy for the systematic development of ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatographic (UHPLC or UPLC) methods using 5cmx2.1mm columns packed with sub-2microm particles and computer simulation (DryLab((R)) package). Data for the accuracy of comput...
