An enzymatic fluorometric assay for L-lysine in plasma and tissue
Analytical Biochemistry
|June 1, 1983
Abstract:
A simple, specific, and reliable method has been developed for the determination of L-lysine in blood plasma and tissue. The L-lysine in the sample is decarboxylated enzymatically, and fluorescamine is added to a pentan-1-ol extract of the cadaverine formed. This produces a stable product which is measured fluorometrically.
