An Automated PCO2 Assay for Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase.

Abstract

An automated assay for determination of glutamic acid decarboxylase activity is described. The PCO2 of an incubation medium is used as a measure of total CO2 formed by enzymic decarboxylation of glutamate. Details of manifold construction, reagent composition, and data concerning the reliability of the method are presented. (Author)
