Popis: A method for the assay of lysyl-protocollagen hydroxylase activity is described. This method depends upon the formation of tritiated water when lysine residues of 4,5-3H-lysyl-protocollagen are hydroxylated. The labeled protocollagen was prepared from carrageenan induced guinea pig granuloma tissue. There was a linear relationship between the amount of tritiated water and tritiated hydroxylysine formed in this assay. The assay is reproducible and more rapid than previously described assays for lysyl-protocollagen hydroxylase. Use of this method will facilitate further studies on collagen hydroxylysine formation.
