Rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP, thereby producing ATP and pyruvate. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the glycolytic pathway, which is the metabolic process that converts glucose into energy for the cell.

(St. Louis, MO, USA). Rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase was purchased from Roche (Basel, Switzerland). Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced) salt (NADH) were purchased from Chem-Impex International Inc. (Wood Dale, IL, USA). All other reagents were of the highest quality commercially available.

Purification and Preparation of Protein Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ammonium acetate and lyophilized powders of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Wild type and double mutant (E87C, C312T) AmtB protein complex from E. coli was expressed and purified as previously described.15 (link) The GroEL chaperonin complex was purified as previously described.16 (link) More detailed information for these complexes is provided in Supplemental Table S1. All buffers and lyophilized protein samples were dissolved in 18.2 MΩ·cm water (Barnstead Easy Pure II, Thermo Scientific). All samples were buffer exchanged to 200 mM aqueous Ammonium acetate using Micro BioSpin P-6 gel columns (BioRad) at working concentrations of 1–10 μM. For AmtB, the samples were buffer exchanged into 200 mM Ammonium acetate supplemented with 2x critical micelle concentration of tetraethylene glycol monooctyl ether (0.5% C8E4).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
