Methods for the detection and quantitation of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in fermentation broths
The Journal of Antibiotics
|August 1, 1985
Abstract:
Two procedures are described for the detection of inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). The first is a new agar-plate method useful as a screening tool. Two ACE inhibitors produced by culture A58365 were discovered using this plate test. The second method is a modification of a previously reported spectrophotometric procedure. Both procedures utilize p-nitrobenzyl-oxycarbonylglycyl-(S-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3- diazole)-L-cysteinyl-glycine as substrate.

01:33Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.

01:24Automated Microbial Diagnostics
Automated diagnostic analyzers have transformed clinical microbiology by providing rapid and reliable methods for pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Among these systems, the Vitek 2 is widely used because it automates the traditionally labor-intensive processes of microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), delivering standardized and timely results that are essential for effective patient care.Microbial Identification with ID CardsThe...
