Abstract An automated procedure for the measurement of alkaline phosphatase activity by a modification of the Bodansky method is described. It has been possible to adapt the Fiske-SubbaRow method for phosphate so that alkaline phosphatase is determined by a second run, immediately following the determination of inorganic phosphate. Studies of the effect of time, pH, and concentration of barbital on the enzyme activity are discussed, and the advantages of the method are listed.

Abstract We describe a method for determining serum alkaline phosphatase activity with use of N-methyl-D-glucamine buffer, Na+ is a definite activator, whereas NH4+ and Li+ inhibit enzyme activity. Optimum reaction conditions are: methylglucamine buffer, 0.35 mol/L, pH 10.2 +/- 0.1 (30 degrees C); NaCl, 70 mmol/L; MgCl2, 0.5 mmol/L; disodium 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, 15 mmol/L; reaction temperature, 30 degrees C; reaction time, 2 min. The assay conditions are optimum for all human serum isoenzymes.

Abstract We have compared 23 compounds, with and without transphosphorylating properties, as buffer systems for human serum alkaline phosphatase activity, with p-nitrophenylphosphate as substrate. Relative enzyme activity in four representative buffers at near-optimal conditions was ethylaminoethanol > diethanolamine > 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol > carbonate. Transphosphorylation was demonstrated in the two buffers in which the enzyme was most active, ethylaminoethanol and diethanolamine. The optima for pH, buffer concentration, and substrate for these four systems were studied in detail. 2-Ethylaminoethanol supports the highest enzyme activity of any of the compounds tested. Diethanolamine was shown to have many of the favorable characteristics required for a reference enzyme procedure.
