Triose phosphate isomerase is a dimeric enzyme of molecular mass 56000 which catalyses the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. The crystal structure of the enzyme from chicken muscle has been determined at a resolution of 2.5 A, and an independent determination of the structure of the yeast enzyme has just been completed at 3 A resolution. The conformation of the polypeptide chain is essentially identical in the two structures, and consists of an inner cylinder of eight strands of parallel |3-pleated sheet, with mostly helical segments connecting each strand. The active site is a pocket containing glutamic acid 165, which is believed to act as a base in the reaction. Crystallographic studies of the binding of DHAP to both the chicken and the yeast enzymes reveal a common mode of binding and suggest a mechanism for catalysis involving polarization of the substrate carbonyl group.

A simple accurate method for the determination of phospholipid phosphorus is described. Conditions for the digestion of phospholipid have been developed permitting the utilization of a colorimetric procedure for inorganic phosphorus that is characterized by excellent color stability and strict adherence to Beer's law over a range of 0 to 65 μgm. of phosphorus.

Abstract The Archibald colorimetric procedure for determination of uric acid has been adapted for automation. The major differences from the original manual procedure after sodium hydroxide treatment of the serum sample are neutralization with hydrochloric acid and dialysis of the serum instead of precipitation to remove protein. At the rate of 40 samples per hour, the automated procedure shows good correlation with the manual procedure.

Abstract The determination of serum iron has been shown to be feasible by the use of a modified single-beam atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The effect of interfering substances is eliminated by the use of standards prepared in physiological concentrations of protein. Average percentage recovery of added iron was 97.9 with an over-all coefficient of variation of 1.6%. Disparities between samples due to the effect of unequal viscosities and flow rates were overcome by the integration of the record curve generated by a measured volume of sample. Comparison between the method presented and a colorimetric procedure gave a higher mean value and normal range for plasma quantitated by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

Abstract A direct colorimetric method is described for the determination of propylthiouracil in serum, which is based on reaction of the drug at pH 8.0 with 2,6-dichloroquinone-chloroimide to produce a colored chloroform-soluble compound. After isolation from the aqueous layer with phase-separating filter paper, the chloroform solution is read against a chloroform blank at 435 nm. Propylthiouracil added to drug-free serum serves as a control sample. The method obeys Beer's law up to a concentration of at least 10 mg/liter.

Abstract Procaine penicillin is determined by a rapid colorimetric procedure based on conversion of penicillin to penicillamine which turns blue with arsenomolybdic acid reagent. The presence of other antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents in the feed does not interfere. The method is suitable over the range 10–100 g procaine penicillin per ton of feed.

Abstract This report describes a new specific colorimetric procedure for uric acid assay with AutoAnalyzer II and SMA (Technicon) systems, made specific by the application of uricase. Hydrogen preroxide, formed in this reaction, effects the oxidative coupling of 4-aminophenazone and 2,4-dichlorophenol under the catalytic influence of peroxidase. The red dye formed is measured at 505 or 520 nm. A sample blank measurement is not necessary, and the reagents show very good stability. The test shows linearity up to 714 mumol of uric acid per liter. Results of thie method correlate very well with those by the uricase-ultraviolet and uricase--catalase methods. There is no interference by hemoglobin, bilirubin, lipemia, and various drugs, except a minor interference by alpha-methyldopa. Interference from ascorbate is eliminated by ascorbate oxidase. This method can be regarded as a considerably improved routine test for uric acid on continuous-flow systems in clinical laboratories as compared with the commonly used phosphotungstate method.

Abstract A method is described for the determination of methyl anthranilate in Concord grape products. A sample of juice, concentrate, pulp, or essence is steam distilled in a micro-Kjeldahl unit and the fluorescence of the distillate collected in pH 7 buffer is measured directly with a fluorometer. The method is rapid and sensitive to 0.1 ppm methyl anthranilate. A correlation coefficient of 0.988 was found between the AOAC colorimetric procedure and the fluorometric method.

Abstract Dyer’s colorimetric procedure was applied to the determination of trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N) in distillates from frozen cod and frozen haddock. Studies show that a more accurate estimate of the TMA-N contained in fish is obtained when this colorimetric method is applied to the distillates rather than to the extract. The method is also shortened by the elimination of one distillation, two oxidations, and two titrations.
