Abstract
A method of estimating glutamic acid is described, based on its dehydrogenation by glutamate dehydrogenase coupled, by means of N-methylphenazine methosulphate, to the reduction of tetrazolium salts. The method is suitable for the estimation of 0-0.3mumole of glutamic acid. The response is linear, but not stoicheiometric: possible reasons for this are discussed. If suitable precautions are taken, the use of a partially purified preparation of glutaminase makes it possible to estimate glutamine also.Entities:
