the immobilized enzyme is useful for establishing an analytical spectrophotometric determination method of L-Phe in the diagnostics of phenyketonuria, an inborn error of amino acid metabolism in which the conversion of L-phenylalanine to L-tyrosine is impaired and can cause profound mental retardation if not detected and treated soon after birth. Early quantitative measurement of the plasma L-Phe is essential for the diagnosis of phenylketonuria and the control of dietary therapy of the patients. The conversion efficiency of the reactor with immobillized enzyme is 100% in the range of 0.005-0.6 mM Phe at 9 mM NAD+ with a total flow rate of 0.1 mL/min. The reactor is used for the analyses of 30 samples each for 3 h per day. The half-life period of the reactor is 15 days, method evaluation, overview
