摘要:
A novel NAD synthetase is produced by culturing a broth of Bacillus stearothermophilus H-804 FERM BP-1408. This new enzyme selectively catalyzes the reaction ##STR1## without catalyzing the reaction ##STR2## The enzyme uses ammonia or ammonium ion as a substrate, but does not use either glutamine or asparagine. Also disclosed is an assay method using the enzyme, for any one of ATP, deamide-NAD, ammonia or ammonium ion in a specimen to be assayed.

A method of assaying for acyl-L-carnitines including short chain acyl-carnitines including acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine in a substance, comprises subjecting a sample of the substance to be analyzed to an enzymatic hydrolysis using an acyl-carnitine esterase. The esterase is produced by Alcaligenes sp. FERM BP-2570 and it has substrate specificity for acyl-L-carnitines including short-chain acyl-L-carnitines. In addition the esterase demonstrates substrate specificity for acetyl-L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine. The enzyme facilitates the hydrolysis reaction of one mole each of the acyl-L-carnitines with one mole of water in which to form one mole each of the corresponding fatty acid and L-carnitine. The amount of the fatty acid and L-carnitine formed is determined by this method.
