General description

The new L-Amino Acid Assay Kit, MAK490, is now available!

L-amino acids are essential molecules defined by the nature of their side-chain. There are 20 amino acids that are commonly used by most organisms for the production of proteins and other biologically relevant molecules. While amino acids can occur in either the D- or L-enantimer, only the L-form is used by cells.

Suitability

Suitable for quantitating L-amino acids in body fluids or purified samples.

Principle

In this assay, L-Amino Acid concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme reaction, which results in a colorimetric (570 nm)/fluorometric (λex = 535/λem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the L-Amino Acids present. Glycine is not detectable by this assay.
