A non-radiochemical procedure has been developed which permits the separation and measurement of isoprenaline (ISO) and the O-methylated metabolite, 3-methoxyisoprenaline (MeOISO). This methodology employs alumina chromatography and toluene solvent extraction to separate the catecholamine, ISO, from the O-methylated derivative, MeOISO. High-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection has been used to quantify these compounds. The biological application of this procedure includes the evaluation of O-methylation of the stereoisomers of ISO by intact tissues.

We have developed a quadrupole ICP-MS method for detecting sub-picogram quantities of U in contaminated foods. Notable features included elimination of the requirement for possessing licensed nuclear materials so that non-radiochemical laboratories may perform this analysis in the event of a large-scale nuclear or radiological emergency calling for high sample surge capacity, elimination of several extremely hazardous reagents in sample analysis e.g.

Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) catalyses the conversion of thymidine into thymine. A non-radiochemical assay procedure for TP was developed in which thymine was detected at 265 nm after separation with reversed-phase HPLC. A complete separation of thymidine and thymine was achieved in 6 min and the minimum amount of thymine that could be detected was 0.

Article Synopsis
- * The assay can detect very low levels of CdAMP (down to 1 pmol) and remains linear for reaction times up to 3 hours and protein concentrations as high as 760 microg/ml.
- * CdA not only converts to CdAMP but also to additional metabolites like 2-chloroadenine and 2-chlorodeoxyinosine in MOLT-3 cells; this conversion is inhibited by deoxycoformycin,

Background: Pathologies associated with rare inherited disorders affecting purine metabolic pathways range from renal failure to neurological dysfunction and immunodeficiency. The disorders are usually diagnosed by measuring enzyme activities in hemolysates. A non-radiochemical HPLC-linked method is described for simultaneous determination of the activities of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT: E.
