Application Comment Organism
analysis methods to measure thymidine and deoxyuridine concentrations and thymidine phosphorylase activity in biological samples. Thymidine phosphorylase activity can be measured by an endpoint determination of the thymine formed after 1 h incubation of the buffy coat homogenate in the presence of a large excess of its substrate thymidine, either spectrophotometrically or by HPLC-UV. The protocols allow the detection of thymidine phosphorylase dysfunction in patients with mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy, MNGIE Homo sapiens
