| Description | 3-Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a key enzyme in glycolysis, widely present in animals, plants, and microorganisms. It catalyzes the reaction of 3-phosphoglycerate and ATP to produce 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. The latter, under the action of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADH, 3-Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a key enzyme in glycolysis, widely present in animals, plants, and microorganisms. It catalyzes the reaction of 3-phosphoglycerate and ATP to produce 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. The latter, under the action of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADH, produces glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and NAD+. The activity of 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is determined by measuring the decrease in NADH.Component100TStorageExtraction Buffer100 mL2-8℃. Store in the dark.Reagent 11EA-20℃.

Tissue Samples: Weigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, homogenize on ice, and then centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 5 minutes. Collect the supernatant for assay.Note: If increasing the sample amount, use a ratio of 1:5 to 1:10 (tissue weight (g) : Extraction Buffer volume (mL)) for extraction.2. Bacterial/Cell Samples: Collect bacteria or cells into a centrifuge tube by centrifugation and discard the supernatant. Take approximately 5 million bacteria or cells, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, and disrupt using ultrasound on ice (power 200 W, ultrasonicate for 3 s, interval 10 s, repeat 30 times). Centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for assay.Note: If increasing the sample amount, use a ratio of 500-1000 (x10⁴ cells) : 1 (mL Extraction Buffer) for extraction.Assay Procedure1. Preheat the microplate reader for 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 340 nm and the temperature to 25°C.2. Thaw all reagents to room temperature (25°C).3. In a well of the 96-well plate, add sequentially:Reagent (µL)Test TubeSample20Reagent 110Reagent 210Reagent 310Reagent 4140Mix well and incubate at room temperature (25°C) for 10 minutes.4. Add Reagent (µL)Test TubeReagent 5105. Mix gently. At room temperature (25°C), read the absorbance at 340 nm at 30 seconds (A1) and then again after 10 minutes (A2). Calculate ΔA = A1 - A2.Notes:1. If ΔA is close to zero, the reaction time can be appropriately extended to 20 minutes before reading A2. The modified reaction time (T) must be substituted into the calculation formula. Alternatively, increase the sample volume appropriately (e.g., to 40 µL, with a corresponding decrease in Reagent 4 volume). The modified sample volume (V1) must be substituted into the calculation formula.2. If the decreasing trend is unstable, read the absorbance every 20 seconds and select a linear decreasing period for calculation. The corresponding ΔA value should be substituted into the calculation formula.3. If the initial absorbance A1 is too high (e.g., >2, as in deeply pigmented plant leaves), appropriately reduce the sample volume. The modified sample volume (V1) must be substituted into the calculation formula. Alternatively, add a small amount of activated carbon to the sample, mix, let stand for 5 min, then centrifuge at 12000 rpm, 4°C for 10 min, and use the supernatant for detection.4. If ΔA is greater than 0.5, reduce the reaction time (e.g., to 5 min) or reduce the sample volume (e.g., to 10 µL). The modified reaction time (T) and sample volume (V1) must be substituted into the calculation formula.PGK Activity Calculation1.

The adsorption column can be stored for a longer time at 2-8 ℃. 2.Buffer P1 with RNase A added can be stably stored for 6 months at 2-8 ℃. Before use, add RNase A to Buffer P1 (add all RNase A provided in the reagent kit), mix well, and store at 2-8 ℃. Before use, it is necessary to leave it at room temperature for a period of time, and then use it after returning to room temperature.3.Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to the Buffer PW according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in Buffer P2 and Buffer E3. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, you can take a water bath at 37 ℃ for a few minutes to restore clarity.5. Note that Buffer P2 and Buffer E3 contain irritating substances. Please wear gloves when operating and immediately cover the lid after use.6.The amount and purity of plasmid extraction are related to factors such as bacterial culture concentration, strain type, plasmid size, and plasmid copy number.7. The maximum volume of Spin Columns DM is 750 µ l. If the sample volume is greater than 750 µ L can be added in batches.Operation steps：1. Take 1-5 ml of overnight cultured bacterial solution and add it to a centrifuge tube (provided). Centrifuge at 13000 rpm (~16200 × g) for 1 minute to collect bacteria, and try to discard all the supernatant as much as possible.2. Add 200 to the centrifuge tube containing bacterial sediment µ Buffer P1 (please check if RNase A has been added first), mix thoroughly with a pipette or vortex oscillator, and suspend bacterial precipitation.Attention: If the bacterial blocks are not thoroughly mixed, it will affect the cracking effect, resulting in low extraction amount and purity.3. Add 200 to the centrifuge tube µ Buffer P2, gently invert and mix 8-10 times to fully lyse the bacterial cells. At this point, the solution should become clear and viscous.Attention: Mix gently and do not shake vigorously to avoid interrupting genomic DNA and mixing genomic DNA fragments in the extracted plasmid. If the solution does not become clear, it indicates that the bacterial count may be too large and the lysis may not be complete. The bacterial count should be reduced or the dosage of P1, P2, E3, and isopropanol should be increased proportionally.4. Add 200 to the centrifuge tube µ Buffer E3, immediately invert and mix 8-10 times, at which point white flocculent precipitates appear. Centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 5 minutes.Attention: After adding Buffer E3, it should be mixed evenly immediately to avoid local precipitation.5. Add 260 to the spin columns DM that have been loaded into the collection tube µ After adding isopropanol, immediately add the supernatant collected in step 4 and mix it upside down.Attention: After adding isopropanol, immediately add the supernatant and mix well to avoid isopropanol dripping into the collection tube after being left for a long time.
