Abstract:
1. l. A simple method for measuring erythrocyte porphobilinogenase activity has been devised. 2. 2. Red blood cells are hemolysed by three freeze-thaws, the hemolysate is diluted 15 times and only 0.5 ml of this preparation is used for determining porphobilinogenase. in an incubation system also containing porphobilinogen, NaCl. MgCl2. Tris-HCl buffer pH 8.2; which is incubated aerobically, in the dark. at 45°. for 1 hr with shaking. 3. 3. The enzymic activity is quenched by adding TCA. 4. 4. Porphyrinogens are oxidized, protein precipitated centrifuged off and uroporphyrins formed are determined spectrophotometrically in the supernatant. 5. 5. The enzyme is stable up to 1 month if stored at -20°. © 1978.
