摘要: Abstract A rapid radiochemical procedure for the measurement of dihydrofolate reductase activity is described. The method employs separation radiolabeled substrate from products reaction by precipitation with acetic acid and zinc sulfate. This permits processing samples climinates time-consumlng column chromatography techniques. Good agreement results obtained when radioactive compared to spectrophotometric assay method.
