A simple bioluminescent method for measuring d-amino acid oxidase activity

d-Amino acid oxidase (DAO) plays important roles in regulating d-amino acid neurotransmitters and was recently identified as a key enzyme integral to hydrogen sulfide production from d-Cys. We report here the development of a simple biocompatible, bioluminescent method for measuring DAO activity bas...

Sumario:d-Amino acid oxidase (DAO) plays important roles in regulating d-amino acid neurotransmitters and was recently identified as a key enzyme integral to hydrogen sulfide production from d-Cys. We report here the development of a simple biocompatible, bioluminescent method for measuring DAO activity based on the highly selective condensation of d-Cys with 6-hydroxy-2-cyanobenzothiazole (CBT-OH) to form d-luciferin.
