Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Sphingomyelinases are important enzymes of signal transduction. They catalyze the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin, giving rise to the intracellular formation of biologically active ceramide and phosphatidylcholine. Here we report on a fluorescence method for the fast and accurate determination of this enzyme in biological samples. The assay is based on a fluorescent sphingomyelin analog carrying fluorescent 7-nitro-2-1,3-benzooxadiazolyl amino-dodecanoic acid instead of an aliphatic acyl chain at the nitrogen atom. The fluorescent substrate is hydrolysed by sphingomyelinases to form fluorescent ceramide, which can be separated from the remaining substrate using TLC on silica gel. The fluorescence intensity pattern obtained on the TLC plate can accurately be determined using a CCD camera. Typically, a large number of samples can be analyzed simultaneously. Examples for the quantitative analysis of sphingomyelinases from freshly prepared cellular homogenates as well as from commercial sources are given. —Loidl, A., R. Claus, H. P. Deigner, and A.
