Determination of adenosine kinase activity by high-pressure liquid chromatography. 1981

S Ronca-Testoni, and A Lucacchini

High-pressure liquid chromatography (reverse-phase mode) was used to assay adenosine kinase in cell and tissue extracts. The method is optimized for a rapid and selective analysis using 6-methylthiopurine riboside as substrate, isocratic elution and detection at 300 nm. A complete separation of substrate and product is achieved in about 3 min with no interference by other UV-absorbing compounds; the limit of detection is 20 pmoles.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008099	Liver	A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances.	Livers
D008214	Lymphocytes	White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS.	Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
