Pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase activities detected in real samples by means of micellar electrokinetic chromatography

Electrophoresis. 2004 Oct;25(18-19):3270-6. doi: 10.1002/elps.200406057.

Abstract

A micellar electrokinetic chromatographic method that allows simultaneous determination of both nucleotidase and transferase activities of cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase III is presented. This electrophoretic approach was successfully applied to human erythrocyte lysates to monitor the enzyme activities indicated above, using either physiological substrate or the nucleoside analogue 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine as the phosphate acceptor.
