ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a method to determine alkylguanyltransferase activity in a sample, comprising steps of placing the sample in an appropriate condition so that the AGT is functional; contacting the sample with an AGT Detector under conditions permitting the binding of AGT and AGTD to produce a signal; and measuring the signal, thereby determining the AGT activity in said sample. This invention provides different uses of this method.
