Determination of trimethylamine and related aliphatic amines in human urine by head-space gas chromatography.

A rapid and simple assay procedure employing head-space gas chromatography has been developed for the routine quantification of volatile methylamines and stable trimethylamine N-oxide present in human urine. This assay will enable the rapid screening of patients and aid the diagnosis of fish odour syndrome.

Membrane-potential-dependent uptake of tryptamine by rat intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles.

The effect of membrane potential on the uptake of tryptamine, an organic cation, by rat intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles was studied. In the presence of an outwardly directed H(+)-gradient, the initial uptake of tryptamine was stimulated remarkably and the overshoot phenomenon was observed. In contrast, the uptake was depressed by an inwardly-directed H(+)-gradient. The effect of H(+)-gradient on the uptake of tryptamine was maintained in the presence of FCCP, whereas it vanished when voltage-clamped vesicles were used. Moreover, the uptake of tryptamine was linearly augmented with increase of the valinomycin-induced inside-negative K+ diffusion potential. These results suggest that tryptamine is taken up into intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles depends upon the ionic diffusion potential. The effect of several indole derivatives and amine compounds on the uptake of tryptamine was also examined. The uptake of tryptamine was inhibited by all amine compounds used, but anionic and zwitterionic compounds had no effect, suggesting that these amines interact on brush-border membrane and cause an inhibitory effect.

Affinity electrophoretic detection of primary amino groups in nucleic acids: application to modified bases of tRNA and to aminoacylation.

Thiolation of primary amino groups in tRNA with the heterobifunctional reagent N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate gives rise to species which are retarded during electrophoresis in organomercury-containing polyacrylamide gels. Since such amino groups occur, as far as is known, only as part of the modified bases 3-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)uridine and N-2-(5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)cytidine or as the alpha-amino group of aminoacylated tRNAs, this extension of the principle of affinity electrophoresis can be used for the detection and analysis of a specific functional group in both single tRNA species and in a mixed population. The strength of the interaction may be quantified and provides information on the chemical environment/conformation of the derivatized bases.
