Effect of Electrolytes on the Activity of Glutamic-Oxalacetic Transaminase

Abstract

IN their method for the determination of glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase without precipitation of protein, Mohun and Cook1conducted transamination between aspartic and α-ketoglutaric acid to glutamic and oxalacetic acid in a phosphate buffer solution of pH = 7.5. Similarly, Yatzidis2used a 2 per cent solution of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate for incubation of the system previous to determining the enzyme activity in the serum.
