Overview
There are several methods for the in vitro assay of ß-galactosidase in yeast. In the method described here (Rose and Botstein 1983), a crude extract is prepared, and the activity is normalized to the amount of protein assayed. This method is particularly suitable for comparing cells that are grown under very different conditions or that have different genetic backgrounds.
