title: Rapid method for diagnosis of abnormal activity of butyrylcholinesterase.
abstract: We present the results of spectral studies of the interactions between butyrylcholinesterase and ethidium bromide fluorophore inhibitor. The ethidium bromide fluorescence selectively increased in the presence of butyrylcholinesterase. A rapid method for evaluation of serum butyrylcholinesterase activity is developed.
