Abstract

Inorganic phosphate may be detected and optionally quantified via the coupling of a phosphate-dependent enzymatic reaction with an enzyme system that generates hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a chromogenic or fluorogenic peroxidase substrate. Phosphate consuming or phosphate-producing enzymes or their substrates may also be detected and/or quantified, including pyrophosphatase enzymes or pyrophosphatase.
