A novel, colorimetric method for biogenic amine detection based on arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 May 21;51(41):8712-4. doi: 10.1039/c5cc02370j.

Abstract

We developed a novel colorimetric method for rapid detection of biogenic amines based on arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (aaNAT). The proposed method offers distinct advantages including simple handling, high speed, low cost, good sensitivity and selectivity.
