[8] Micromethod for the Measurement of Acetyl Phosphate and Acetyl Coenzyme A

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The method described here utilizes two enzymes involved with acetyl-CoA and acetyl phosphate metabolism in bacteria to measure these compounds. Basically, the acetyl-CoA and acetyl phosphate in perchloric acid extracts are converted to ATP, in the presence of [3H]ADP of high specific activity, using the enzymes phosphotransacetylase (PTA) and acetate kinase (AK).
