A technique for detection and relative quantitative analysis of glucosephosphate isomerase isozymes from nanogram tissue samples.

ABSTRACT

An improved method for detecting and measuring the enzyme glucosephosphate isomerase after starch gel electrophoresis is described. Nitrocellulose filters are used in a gel overlay procedure which increases the sensitivity of the staining reaction and provides a simple means for accurate quantitation of the isozyme pattern. This staining technique may have wider application with other gel media and also with other enzymes.
