title: [Application of derivative spectrophotometry in biochemistry].
abstract: Derivative spectrophotometry is used to increase the specificity of spectroscopic measurements. The main advantages of this method are a better resolution of overlapping bands and a reduction in the effects of turbidity and coloured background. Its biochemical applications of this method are reviewed.
