Abstract

We describe a radioisotopic assay for ornithine-δ-transaminase using precursor ornithine-U-14C. We quantitate the product Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate-14C by cation-exchange chromatography. The sensitivity of the method allows for measurement of enzyme activity in extracts prepared from 105 mammalian cells.
