  • Urine samples were first buffered with ammonium acetate buffer and then spiked with a labeled triclosan standard solution, 13C4-4-methylumbelliferone, and 4-methylumbelliferyl glucuronide, and beta-glucuronidase enzyme (for deconjugation of possible glucuronidated forms of the target analyte).

    WHAT REALLY HAPPENED 2008

  • Urine samples were also spiked with beta-glucuronidase enzyme (for deconjugation of glucuronidated forms of the target analytes).

    WHAT REALLY HAPPENED 2008

  • Samples were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using beta-glucuroni-dase / sulfatase enzyme for deconjugation of conjugated glucuronide and sulfonate forms of the target analytes (the completeness of hydrolysis was monitored by the recovery of 4-methylumbelliferone).

    WHAT REALLY HAPPENED 2008

  • Atg4 plays a dual role in that it also catalyzes the deconjugation of LC3B-II during late stage autophagy
