摘要:
Cytochrome P-450 assay methods and kits for the methods are provided employing a cytochrome P-450 enzyme, substrates characterized by having an oxidizable methylene group oxidized to an aldehyde and a fluorescent hydrazine. A fluorescent hydrazine is added to the reaction mixture and the resulting hydrazone analyzed by capillary electrophoresis. The method finds use in evaluating compounds for enzyme modulating activity.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided for determining large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms in target DNA employing particles having (1) primers complementary to sequences in the target DNA where the next succeeding 3′-nucleotide is a potential single nucleotide polymorphism and coding composition members, where the members are unique for each primer, and (2) differentially labeled terminating nucleotides, where the label permits separation of the terminating nucleotides. Desirably the particles are separated into groups having a common prevalent next succeeding nucleotide. The particles and target DNA are combined under nucleotide extending conditions, the particles separated into groups in accordance with the terminating nucleotide and the coding members identified, so that one knows the sequence and the single nucleotide polymorphism. Various protocols are provided for the determination.
摘要:
Compositions are disclosed comprising (a) a metal chelate wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of europium, terbium, dysprosium, samarium osmium and ruthenium in at least a hexacoordinated state and (b) a compound having a double bond substituted with two aryl groups, an oxygen atom and an atom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen wherein one of the aryl groups is electron donating with respect to the other. Such composition is preferably incorporated in a latex particulate material. Methods and kits are also disclosed for determining an analyte in a medium suspected of containing the analyte. The methods and kits employ as one component a composition as described above.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for determining an analyte in a medium suspected of containing the analyte. One method comprises providing (1) combining a medium suspected of containing the analyte and a novel chemiluminescent compound, (2) combining a means for chemically activating the chemiluminescent compound; and (3) detecting the amount of luminescence generated by the chemiluminescent compound. The amount of luminescence generated is related to the amount of analyte in the medium. The chemiluminescent compound can be chemically activated by hydrogen peroxide. Compositions and kits are also disclosed.The chemiluminiscent compound is a spiro-acridan and has ##STR1## where X and Y are independently O, S, Se or NH; and Z is a chain 1-5 atoms in length; 0 to 8 hydrogens of the compound alone or taken together, may be replaced an alkyl, alkylidine, aryl aralkyl, or an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl substituted with one or more radicals of functional groups; 1 to 4 of the aromatic carbon atoms may be replaced by nitrogen atoms; and 0 to 1 hydrogens may be replaced by a specific binding pair member or fluorescent group.
