Since its introduction in 1959, Ellman's reagent (5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)) has been the favorite reagent for spectrophotometric measurement of protein sulfhydryls. Meanwhile however, evidence has accumulated that many protein sulfhydryls give an incomplete reaction with Ellman's reagent, even during prolonged assay

Protocols

To measure chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity, this procedure uses DTNB and coenzyme A. The reaction of DTNB with the –SH group on CoA results in a colorimetric increase at 412 nm.

This procedure applies to products that have a specification for the enzymatic activity of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
