Bilirubin photoisomer calibration curves. (a) Fluorescence assay. Calibration curve was prepared from the fluorescence intensity of reference ZZ-BR adjusted to concentrations in the range of 0–5 μmol/L along with UnaG mixture (see Methods in the text). (b) Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. ZZ-BR and LR are expressed as the ratio of ion intensity to that of the internal standard, MBR. ZZ-BR, ZZ-bilirubin; LR, lumirubin; MBR, mesobilirubin.
