ON THE DETERMINATION OF HUMAN SALIVA ALDOLASE ACTIVITY

KIRK C. HOERMAN 1 and WILLIAM E. ROBINSON 1

1 The Dental Research Facility, United States Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Ill.

Optimum experimental conditions for the colorimetric quantitation of aldolase activity in human whole (supernatant) saliva have been determined. A method for the standardization of the procedure, free from some of the inconveniences of formerly employed technics, has been studied and described. Inhibition of supernatant saliva aldolase activity by cysteine strongly suggested a source from oral yeasts and bacteria. The Michaelis-Menten constant for parotid saliva aldolase suggested a low effective substrate concentration and in turn shed doubt on the present method as useful in parotid aldolase determinations. The subject warrants further investigation in order to determine the presence of inhibitors or undesirable substrate side reactions.
