Abstract
We studied two patients with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria in order to determine the molecular defect. A new assay for 3-methylglutaconyl-coenzyme A (CoA) hydratase has been developed in which the substrate, [5-14C]3-methylglutaconyl-CoA, was synthesized using 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase purified from bovine kidney. In this assay the products of the reaction are isolated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and the rates of conversion from substrate are measured. The Michaelis constant for 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA in normal fibroblasts was 6.9 mumol/liter. The mean activity of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase in control fibroblasts was 495 pmol/min per mg protein. In the two patients the values were 11 and 17 pmol/min per mg protein, or 2-3% of normal.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
