Abstract
The invention relates to a method for assaying homocysteine in a sample such as blood, plasma or urine, which comprises the steps of contacting the sample with a homocysteine converting enzyme and at least one substrate for the enzyme other than homocysteine, and without chromatographic separation, assessing a non-labelled analyte selected from a homocysteine co-substrate and the homocysteine conversion products of the enzymic conversion of homocysteine by said enzyme.
