[A new kinetic method for measuring beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity in urine].

Abstract

A short overview of the biochemical and technical basis for measurement of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (beta-NAG, EC 3.2.1.30) is given. Advantages and disadvantages of various methods are discussed and the need has to be well founded to develop a new colorimetric assay. Some technical details of a new colorimetric test for the measurement of beta-NAG in urine are described.
