An enzymatic method for the separate measurement of both chiral 2-oxo-3-methylvaleric acid (OMV) compounds, (S)- and (R)-OMV, by NADH-dependent enantioselective amination using leucine dehydrogenase in the presence of a NADH regenerating system is described. This method allows the quantitative determination of all branched-chain 2-oxo acids, simultaneously. In plasma samples from classical maple syrup urine disease patients under therapy the average (R)-OMV/(S)-OMV ratio was 0.35 and great differences in the transamination equilibria of the diastereomeric branched-chain amino acids L-isoleucine and L-alloisoleucine were demonstrated.
