title: [An enzymatic method for the determination of Hg++ content].
abstract: An enzymatic method for determination of Hg++ concentration is suggested. This method is based on the strong inhibitory effect of Hg++ on alcoholdehydrogenase (ADH). A correlation between per cent inhibition of ADH and [Hg++]/[ADH] was found. It was possible to determine [Hg++] in a range of values of [Hg++]/[ADH] from 1,58 to 72. A minimum Hg++ concentration of 3,3 X 10(-9) M was dosed.
