| Description | Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK, EC 2.7.9.1) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the C4 pathway and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) pathway. It catalyzes the three-step conversion of ATP, pyruvate, and Pi to phosphoenolpyruvate. This enzyme is primarily located in the chloroplast stroma of C4 plants Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK, EC 2.7.9.1) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the C4 pathway and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) pathway. It catalyzes the three-step conversion of ATP, pyruvate, and Pi to phosphoenolpyruvate. This enzyme is primarily located in the chloroplast stroma of C4 plants and plays a crucial regulatory role in photosynthetic function. The assay measures PPDK activity based on its reverse reaction, which converts phosphoenolpyruvate, AMP, and PPi into pyruvate, ATP, and Pi. The generated pyruvate is then further catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the presence of NADH to produce lactate and NAD+. The rate of decrease in NADH absorbance at 340 nm is measured and used to calculate PPDK activity.Component100TStorageExtraction Buffer100 mL2-8℃Reagent 125 mL2-8℃Reagent 22 EA-20℃Reagent 3 40 µL2-8℃Note for Reagent 3: The volume is small.

We also have transposase library construction kits for human genomic DNA starting at 5 ng and 1 ng, so it is recommended to use different kits for different starting amounts of DNA in order to obtain higher quality libraries. Products IntroductionThis kit is developed for Illumina's high-throughput sequencing platform and provides the enzyme premix system and reaction buffer for genomic DNA library construction, including all components except PCR primers. Compared with the traditional library construction kits, this kit adopts the new transposase method for library construction, which can complete DNA fragmentation, end repair and junction reaction in one simple enzymatic reaction, significantly reducing the amount of template, reducing the number of experimental steps, and shortening the time of library construction; it adopts the high-fidelity DNA polymerase for library enrichment, and the preference-free PCR amplification can expand the coverage area of the sequence, which can be used for efficient and effective sequencing. The use of high-fidelity DNA polymerase for library enrichment and preference-free PCR amplification broadens the coverage area of the sequence and enables efficient preparation of DNA libraries for Illumina's second-generation sequencing platform. The kit is suitable for DNA libraries with a starting template of 50 ng, and all reagents in the kit have been subjected to strict quality control and functional validation to maximize the stability and reproducibility of library construction.

Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube. Leave the adsorption column at room temperature for several minutes to dry thoroughly.Note: The purpose of this step is the removal of residual ethanol from the adsorbent column; ethanol residue can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.).10. Place the adsorption column in a new collection tube (RNase-Free Centrifuge Tube), add 20-150 µl of Buffer RE or sterilized water overhanging the middle of the adsorption column membrane, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, and then centrifuge it at 12,000 rpm for 1 minute to collect the nucleic acid solution.Note: 1) If the downstream experiment is sensitive to pH or EDTA, you can use sterilized water for elution. The pH of the eluent has a great influence on the elution efficiency, if water is used as the eluent it should be ensured that its pH is 7.0-8.5 (the pH of water can be adjusted to this range with NaOH), and the elution efficiency is not high when the pH is lower than 7.0.(2) For long-term storage, please store the DNA solution at -20℃ and the RNA solution at -70℃.3) If the final concentration of DNA/RNA is to be increased, the DNA/RNA eluate obtained in step 10 can be re-spiked onto the adsorbent membrane and step 10 repeated...
