ASSAYS FOR ANALYTES AND ENZYMES PRACTICED IN THE PRESENCE OF NAD AND NADP ANALOGUES, AND RELATED ASSAY KITS

摘要

Kits and methods for measuring enzyme activities and metabolites using NAD analogs and NADP analogs are disclosed. The analogs can be used as replacements for NAD and NADP cofactors in analytical procedures. Preferred aspects of the invention include kits containing the NAD analogs and NADP analogs for use in the measurement of ethanol, lactic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, glucose, glycerol, triglycerides, alpha-glycerophosphate, bile acids and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in analytical samples.
