Abstract
An enzyme immunoassay, in which an enzyme (e.g., alkaline phosphatase, ALP) is conjugated with an antibody, is a precise and simple protein detection method. Precise measurements of enzymes at low concentrations allow for ultrasensitive protein detection. The application of a phosphorylated substrate to ALP, followed by using a dephosphorylated substrate in thionicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide cycling, provides a simple and precise quantification of ALP. We describe a protocol for detecting ALP at the zeptomole level using a simple colorimetric method.
