title: Photometric estimation of cadaverine oxidation by copper amine oxidase.
abstract: A simple method for the photometric estimation of 1-piperideine, produced by the action of copper amino oxidases on cadaverine, is described. A discussion on the formation of 1-piperideine from lysine in acidic medium is also reported, together with some observations on the nature of acid 1-piperideine-ninhydrin condensation product.
