methods used vary from NMR to pH-sensitive microprobes and the more 
popular fluorescent probes.  A not so recent mini-review is: Inger Helene 
Madshus (1988). Regulation of intracellular pH in eukaryotic cells. 
Biochem. J. 250:1-8.  You can also check with Molecular Probes in 
Eugene, OR.  They sell a number of fluorescent probes used to measure pH, 
and they also can steer you to some relevent literature using their 
materials.  Their Technical Assistance Department can be 
contacted by: Telephone (541) 465-8353; Fax: (541)344-4593; or E-mail:
