The use of the enzyme alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) for the determination of ammonium ion (NH(4)(+))usually requires the addition of pyruvate substrate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) simultaneously to effect the reaction. This addition of reagents is inconvenient when an enzyme...
