However, salivary EVs obtained by these two methods have not been systematically compared. Here, we perform an in-depth analysis on EVs isolated by these two methods using proteomics. Both methods obtain EVs ranging from 40 to 210 nm, with the PEG method resulting in a wider size distribution. PEG-separated products were irregularly shaped and aggregated, while UC-separated ones were monodispersed and teacup-shaped. Additionally, the expression of EV-specific markers was higher in UC-separated EVs. Using tandem mass spectrometry proteomics, we identified and quantified 1217 kinds of saliva exosomal proteins and 361 kinds of differential proteins, showing that UC can isolate more EV-related proteins. These results offer some guidance for EV separating and provide potential direction for the use of EVs in non-invasive diagnosis.Tyrosinase is the key enzyme for the metabolism of tyrosine and inherently comprises both monophenolase activity and diphenolase activity. A real-time fluorometric assay method was established to exclusively monitor the monophenolase activity by eliminating interference from diphenolase reactions through a combination of borate and hydroxylamine. Synthetic matrices comprised of tyrosine and DOPA (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) preincubated with tyrosinase with the consistent sum concentration of 70 μM to mimic the monophenolase reaction mixture in borate buffer according to law of mass conservation. A matrix-matched calibration curve for determination of tyrosine was established using the synthetic matrices as standard sample to eliminate spectral interference from DOPA. The limit of detection (LOD) for tyrosine was 0.61 μM. The time course for consumption of tyrosine was establis
