We describe here a standard protocol for the radiochemical assay of gamma-aminolevulinate synthase from 17-day chick embryo liver mitochondria and starved male rat liver mitochondria. The assay is sensitive to at least 15 pmol of the gamma-aminolevulinate produced and can be adapted to suit most tissue types. A number of possible modifications to the procedure are discussed.
