Abstract
Abstract Formation of the highly fluorescent 1-methyl-7-hydroxyquinolinium iodine during the acetylcholinesterase-catalyzed hydrolysis of 1-methyl-7-acetoxyquinolinium iodide has been utilized in the development of a simple fluorometric assay for extremely small quantities of the enzyme. By employing the methods described, quantities of enzyme as low as 0·0003 unit ‡ may be determined.
