Pyruvate Assay for Estimation of Pyruvate Levels in Cellular Fractions of Worms
In This Article
Overview
This video describes a colorimetric assay for quantitatively measuring pyruvate in the cellular fractions of Caenorhabditis elegans. Utilizing the hydrogen peroxide produced from the enzymatic reaction of pyruvate oxidase with cellular pyruvate, a chromogenic dye is oxidized to produce a colored product, measured using colorimetry to determine the pyruvate concentration.
