Optimization of determination of alanine aminopeptidase in urine by univariate study led to a method involving pretreatment of urine with Sephadex G50. Re-examination of the optimization by multivariate study led us to recommend higher optimal concentrations: 5.8 mmol/L for the substrate and 300 mmol/L for the Tris buffer. Under these new conditions, pretreatment of urine was no longer necessary and the assay could be completely automated.
