Reaction between glucuronic acid and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) was monitored by the o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) method, which was developed for the fluorescent assay of compounds containing an amino group. About 1 nmol of glucuronic acid was detected by this method. This EDC-OPA method was effective in detecting not only acidic sugar but also carboxylic acid. Although the sensitivity of the EDC-OPA method was somewhat lower than that of amino acid determination by OPA, a very simple and convenient assay was attained for compounds containing a carboxyl group.
通过邻苯二甲醛(OPA)法监测葡萄糖醛酸与1-乙基-3-(3-二甲基氨基丙基)碳二亚胺(EDC)之间的反应,该方法是为含氨基化合物的荧光测定而开发的。用该方法可检测到约1 nmol的葡萄糖醛酸。这种EDC-OPA方法不仅对酸性糖有效,对羧酸也有效。虽然EDC-OPA方法的灵敏度略低于OPA测定氨基酸的灵敏度,但对于含羧基的化合物而言,它是一种非常简单便捷的检测方法。
