A new enzymatic method for rapid direct measurement of serum tyrosine is described, based on the amperometric measurement of the rate of oxygen consumption when tyrosine is oxidized in the presence of the enzyme tyrosinase in a phosphate buffer (0.1 mol/liter, pH 7.4). A Beckman Glucose Analyzer with a Clark electrode is used for the measurement. The procedure does not require removal of serum protein, incubation nor extraction, and results are obtained in less than 1 min. Results agree closely with those obtained by a fluorometric procedure and with an amino acid analyzer.

Beagle serum proteins were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and the electrophoretograms were examined by one- and two-dimensional analyses with a laser densitometer. In order from the anodic side of the PAGE pattern, pre-albumin, hexokinase, tyrosinase, alkaline phosphatase, urease, and aldehyde dehydrogenase were assumed to be present based on Rf and Mw. Serum albumin, lactate dehydrogenase, and catalase appeared to be present based on a comparison of their electrophoretic mobility with that of protein standards of known Mw. Verification of beagle serum protein fractions by immunofixation electrophoresis and western blotting electrophoresis, with rabbit anti-human serum, indicated alpha 1-antitrypsin, albumin, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, C3c complement, IgG, and IgA. Serum protein fraction values (%) obtained by one- and two-dimensional analyses were similar.
