| Description | Chloroplast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a key enzyme in the Calvin cycle. Detection Principle: Chloroplast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase catalyzes the reaction of 3-phosphoglyceric acid and ATP to produce 1,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid. The latter, under the action of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Chloroplast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a key enzyme in the Calvin cycle. Detection Principle: Chloroplast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase catalyzes the reaction of 3-phosphoglyceric acid and ATP to produce 1,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid. The latter, under the action of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADH, produces glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and NAD⁺. The enzyme activity of 3-phosphoglycerate kinase is determined by measuring the decrease in NADH.Component96TStorageExtraction Buffer 1100 mL2-8℃Extraction Buffer 2100 mL2-8℃Reagent 11EA-20℃.

Sample Extraction (Chloroplast Isolation)Weigh approximately 0.1 g of plant tissue sample. Add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer 1 and homogenize rapidly in an ice bath. Centrifuge at 1,600 rpm, 4°C for 5 minutes. Discard the pellet. Take the supernatant and centrifuge again at 5,000 rpm, 4°C for 15 minutes. Discard the supernatant and keep the pellet. Add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer 2 to the pellet. Vortex vigorously for 15 seconds. Place on ice (or in a refrigerator) and incubate at 4°C for 15 minutes. Centrifuge at 13,000 rpm, 4°C for 5 minutes. Collect the supernatant for assaying the chloroplast 3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) enzyme activity.Important: The entire chloroplast extraction process must be maintained at 4°C.Note: If increasing the sample amount, maintain a tissue mass (g) to Extraction Buffer volume (mL) ratio between 1:5 and 1:10.2. Assay Steps2.1 Preheat the microplate reader for 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 340 nm and the temperature to 25°C.2.2 Thaw all reagents to room temperature (25°C).2.3 Add reagents sequentially to a 96-well plate:ReagentTest Well (µL)Sample20Reagent 110Reagent 210Reagent 310Reagent 4140Mix well and incubate at room temperature (25°C) for 10 minutes.Reagent 510Mix gently. Under room temperature (25°C) conditions, read the absorbance at 340 nm at 30 seconds (A₁) and then again after 10 minutes (A₂). Calculate ΔA = A₁ - A₂.注：Notes:(1) If ΔA is close to zero, the reaction time can be appropriately extended to 20 minutes before reading A₂. If the reaction time is changed, the new time (T) must be substituted into the calculation formula. Alternatively, the sample volume can be increased (e.g., to 40 µL, with a corresponding decrease in Reagent 4 volume); the new sample volume (V₁) must then be substituted into the calculation formula.(2) If the decrease trend is unstable, read the absorbance every 20 seconds and select a linearly decreasing time period for calculation. The corresponding A values for this period should be used to calculate ΔA and substituted into the formula.(3) If the initial absorbance A₁ is too high (e.g., >2, as in dark green plant leaves with high pigment content), consider appropriately reducing the sample volume; the new 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 minutes, then centrifuge at 12,000 rpm, 4°C for 10 minutes, and use the supernatant for assay.(4) If ΔA is greater than 0.5, reduce the reaction time (e.g., to 5 minutes) or reduce the sample volume (e.g., to 10 µL). The changed reaction time (T) and/or sample volume (V₁) must be substituted into the calculation formula.3.

However, in some plant tissues (such as corn endosperm), due to the unique secondary metabolites, guanidine isothiocyanate causes precipitation in the sample, resulting in poor RNA extraction efficiency. In this case, Buffer RLC can be added instead of Buffer RL.2) Incubating at 56 ℃ for 1-3 minutes helps with tissue lysis, but plants with high starch content should not be subjected to high-temperature incubation.3.
