A novel non-enzymatic method for the determination of oxidases and the
ir substrates was proposed, The principle was examined by fluorometric
determination of glucose oxidase(GOD). Using EGTA(NH4)(2)Fe(SO4)(2) a
s modified Fenton reagent, H2O2 the product of GOD catalytic reaction
was converted into hydroxyl radical, the later oxidized terephthalic a
cid, which was chosen from four fluorogenic indicator of hydroxyl radi
cal, into fluorescent product GOD was thus measured according to the r
eaction rates. The method is simple, stable, cheap and at least as sen
sitive as its counterpart enzymatic method.
