title: A microassay for protein glycation based on the periodate method.
abstract: The periodate assay for glycated protein has been adapted for use with a microplate reader. Up to 94 samples can be read in 40 s, and sensitivity has been improved so that only 2-40 nmol of protein-bound sugar are needed per well. Yields have been increased to over 90%, allowing in vitro glycation of human serum albumin to be assayed on 0.1-mg aliquots.
