Abstract

A new radiometric assay for the enzyme arginase has been developed, depending on the conversion of ¹⁴C-guanidoarginine to ¹⁴C-urea and cleavage of the latter to ¹⁴CO₂ by nitrous acid. The advantages of the assay are its accuracy, sensitivity, simplicity, and speed (1.5 hr/assay), compared to existing methods.
