Our laboratory is engaged in the following studies: 1) Elucidation of the structural and quantitative differences between rapid and slow N- acetyltransferases from humans and mice, the acetylator phenotype of which is determined both in vivo and in vitro, by: (a) assessment of the complete N-acetyltransferase (NAT) gene sequences; (b) comparison of the size, relative abundance, and stability of the corresponding NAT mRNAs, and (c) expression in heterologous systems, encompassing experiments on the kinetic and physicochemical properties of expressed variant NATs with those of the wild type; 2) Development of assays using biotinylated, allele-specific oligonucleotide probes for distinguishing rapid and slow human NAT genes.

本实验室进行了以下研究：1）阐明 快速和慢速N-之间的结构和数量差异 乙酰转移酶，乙酰化表型的人和小鼠， 其通过以下方式在体内和体外测定：（a）评估 完整的N-乙酰转移酶（NAT）基因序列;（B）比较 相应NAT的大小、相对丰度和稳定性 mRNA，和（c）在异源系统中的表达，包括 表达产物的动力学和理化性质试验 变异NAT与野生型NAT的比较; 2）检测方法的开发 使用生物素化的等位基因特异性寡核苷酸探针， 区分快速和慢速人类NAT基因。
