Kinetic amperometric determination of hydrolase activity

Abstract Alkaline phosphatase is determined by using o -hydroxyphenyl or p -aminophenyl phosphate as substrate; for β-glucosidase, p -aminophenol β-D-glucoside is used. The products, p -aminophenol and catechol, are monitored amperometrically. The limit of determination for the hydrolase is about 2.5 × 10 -3 units ml -1 . The apparent Michaelis constants are given.
