Induction of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Damage by Alkylating Agents

Alkylating agents are a series of potentially carcinogenic compounds that are able to introduce lesions into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA; ref. 1 ). For their electrophilic nature, alkylating agents have an affinity for the nucleophilic

Quantitation of Homovanillic Acid (HVA) and Vanillylmandelic Acid (VMA) in Urine Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)

Neuroblastoma, in most cases, is characterized by increased production of catecholamines and their metabolites. Laboratory diagnosis and clinical follow-up include the measurement of urinary homovanillic acid (HVA) and vanillylmandelic acid

Determination of Acyl Homoserine Lactone and Tetramic Acid Concentrations in Biological Samples

for the detection of these QS signals may provide insights into the pathogenicity and survival of P. aeruginosa . In this chapter, we present a method for the extraction and quantitation of the P. aeruginosa QS signal N -3-oxo-dodecanoyl-homoserine lactone
