Automatic lactate determination by flow injection analysis.

Abstract

Flow injection analysis has been used to determine lactate in precipitated serum samples employing the NADH-LDH method. The method is suitable for determinations in the concentration range 0.2-20 mmoles per litre of lactate. The procedure has been tested against a manual routine procedure and the results were in good agreement.

Three-stepped rotation of subunits gamma and epsilon in single molecules of F-ATPase as revealed by polarized, confocal fluorometry.

The proton translocating ATP synthase is conceived as a rotatory molecular engine. ATP hydrolysis by its headpiece, CF1, drives the rotation of subunit gamma relative to the hexagonally arranged large subunits, (alphabeta)3. We investigated transition states of the rotatory drive by polarized confocal fluorometry (POCOF) as applied to single molecules of engineered, immobilized and load-free spinach-CF1. We found that the hydrolysis of ATP caused the stepped and sequential progression of subunit gamma through three discrete angular positions, with the transition states of gamma being too shortlived for detection. We also observed the stepped motion of epsilon, whereas delta was immobile as (alphabeta)3.

Kinetic fluorimetric determination of gliadins in foods.

Kinetic methodology was applied for the first time to the determination of gliadin proteins by using a stopped-flow mixing technique. The method is based on two simultaneous processes: the reaction between gliadins and sodium dodecyl sulfate and the elimination of the quenching caused by this surfactant of the fluorescence of Cresyl Violet. Thus, the increase in fluorescence intensity with time is directly related to gliadin concentration. The use of this oxazine dye allows dynamic fluorescence measurements at long wavelengths, which avoids potential interferences from the sample matrix. The reaction rate is measured within 5 s, so the method is very suitable for the routine determination of gliadins in food samples. The dynamic range of the calibration graph was 0.5-50 micrograms ml-1 and the LOD was 0.25 microgram ml-1. The RSD was 1.6%. The method was applied to different food samples and the analytical recoveries were 88-107%.
