Table 1.

Comparison of the initial rates of reaction measured by radioactive and spectrophotometric assays. Conditions in reference system were derived as described previously.7 For details, see Figure 2.

Initial rate of reaction (μM palmitic acid equivalents/min) Reference Optimized
Radioactive assay 3.0 >23.5
Spectrophotometric assay 3.7 35.2
