Adenylate kinase
Adenylate kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate group between adenine nucleotides, specifically converting ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and AMP (adenosine monophosphate). This enzyme plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism and homeostasis.

bacteria were resuspended in 600 μL of 80 °C absolute ethanol
and incubated in an 80 °C water bath for 10 min. Subsequently,
1.4 mL of buffer solution (composed of 2.5 mL of 1 M Tris, 5 mL of
100 mM MgSO4, 1 mL of 100 mM EDTA, 41.5 mL of ddH2O, and 300 μL of 5 M NaOH) was added, followed by centrifugation
at 12,000 rpm for 2 min. The resulting supernatant was utilized for
the determination of adenine nucleotide through a luciferin–luciferase
bioluminescence assay. To measure ATP, a 10 μL reaction buffer
was added, consisting of 3.75 mL of 1 M Tris, 1.25 mL of 200 mM MgCl2, 6.25 mL of 100 mM KCl, and 37.5 mL of ddH2O,
and adjusted to a pH of 7.75. No ATP-generating enzyme was included
in this buffer. To measure ADP, a reaction buffer containing pyruvate
kinase (Sigma-Aldrich) and phosphoenolpyruvate (Sigma-Aldrich) was
added. To measure AMP, a reaction buffer containing pyruvate kinase,
phosphoenolpyruvate, and adenylate kinase (Sigma-Aldrich) was added.
The quantity of ADP was determined by subtracting the ATP value from
the combined ATP + ADP value, while the quantity of AMP was computed
based on the disparity between the ATP + ADP + AMP content and the
ATP + ADP content.

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.
