Abstract

A sensitive and rapid radiochemical micromethod is described for measuring the activity of acetyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.1). [1-14C]Acetyl-CoA is incubated with tissue homogenates; unhydrolyzed [1-14C]acetyl-CoA is separated from the radiolabeled product, [1-14C]acetate, by adsorption to charcoal. The soluble [1-14C]acetate is measured by liquid scintillation techniques. This procedure makes it possible to measure as little as 0.2 to 0.4 nmol acetate generated per assay.
