Simultaneous measurement of cytochrome P4501A catalytic activity and total protein concentration with a fluorescence plate reader

Anal Biochem. 1994 Oct;222(1):217-23. doi: 10.1006/abio.1994.1476.

Abstract

A method for simultaneous measurement of the cytochrome P4501A-associated enzyme, ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), and total protein concentration in liver microsomes is described. EROD assays were carried out in multiwell plates, and the fluorescent product (resorufin) and total proteins were quantified within the same wells with a fluorescence plate reader. Fluorescamine was used for protein assays.
