Fructokinase (FK) phosphorylates fructose to generate fructose-6-phosphate. This product is subsequently acted upon by a series of composite enzymes, reducing NADP+ to NADPH. The enzyme activity of fructokinase is determined by measuring the rate of increase in NADPH absorbance at 340 nm.Component100TStorageExtraction Buffer120 mL2-8℃Reagent 120 mL2-8℃Reagent 21EA-20℃Reagent 31EA-20℃Reagent 41EA2-8℃Reagent 51EA2-8℃Reagent PreparationReagent 2 (Powder, 1 vial):Before use, centrifuge at 8000 g, 4°C for 2 min to collect the powder at the bottom (tap manually if needed).Add 1.1 mL of distilled water to dissolve.The storage period is the same as the kit's expiry date.Reagent 3 (Liquid, 1 vial):Before use, centrifuge at 8000 g, 4°C for 2 min to collect the liquid at the bottom (tap manually if needed).Add 1.05 mL of distilled water to dissolve.The storage period is the same as the kit's expiry date.Reagent 4 (Powder, 1 vial):Before opening, ensure the powder is at the bottom of the vial (tap manually if needed).Add 17 mL of Reagent 1 to dissolve.The storage period is the same as the kit's expiry date.Reagent 5 (Liquid, 1 vial):Before use, centrifuge at 8000 g, 4°C for 2 min to collect the liquid at the bottom (tap manually if needed).Add 1.1 mL of distilled water to dissolve.The storage period is the same as the kit's expiry date.User-Prepared Instruments & MaterialsMortar (homogenizer), ice bucket (ice maker), benchtop centrifuge, adjustable pipettes, water bath (oven, incubator, metal bath), 96-well plate, centrifuge tubes, microplate reader, distilled water (deionized water or ultrapure water is acceptable).Sample Extraction1. Tissue Samples: Weigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, and homogenize on ice. 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 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 5 million bacteria or cells, add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer, and disrupt using ultrasound on ice (power 20% or 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 1:1000~5000 (bacteria/cell count (x10⁴) : Extraction Buffer volume (mL)) for extraction.*3. Liquid Samples: Detect directly. If the sample is turbid, centrifuge and use the supernatant for detection.Assay Procedure1. Preheat the microplate reader for at least 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 340 nm.2. Thaw all reagents to room temperature (25°C).3. In a well of the 96-well plate, add sequentially:Reagent (µL)Test WellSample20Reagent 210Reagent 310Reagent 4150Mix well and incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes. 4. Add:Reagent (µL)Test WellReagent 5105. Mix well. Immediately read the absorbance at 340 nm (A1) and then read again after incubating at 37°C for 20 minutes (A2). Calculate ΔA = A2 - A1.Notes:1. If ΔA is close to zero, the reaction time can be appropriately extended to 30 minutes or longer before reading A2; or the sample volume V1 can be increased appropriately (with a corresponding decrease in Reagent 4 volume). The modified reaction time (T) and sample volume (V1) must be substituted into the calculation formula.2. If the initial absorbance A1 is too high (e.g., >2, as in deeply pigmented plant leaves), appropriately reduce the sample volume V1. The modified 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.3. If the increasing trend is unstable, read the absorbance every 10 seconds and select a linear increasing period for calculation. The corresponding ΔA value should be substituted into the calculation formula.FK Activity Calculation1.

On the basis of cell lysis by alkaline lysis method, it adopts unique silicon matrix membrane adsorption technology to bind plasmid DNA efficiently and exclusively, and each adsorption column can adsorb up to 250 µg of plasmid DNA; at the same time, it adopts a special buffer system and endotoxin removal filter to effectively remove endotoxin, genomic DNA, RNA, protein and other impurities. The plasmids obtained from this kit are of high purity and stable quality, and can be used for cell transfection, as well as DNA sequencing, PCR, in vitro transcription, endonuclease digestion and other experiments.Self-contained reagents: anhydrous ethanol, isopropanol.Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. All components are stable for 1 year in a dry, room temperature (15-30°C) environment, and longer by placing the adsorption columns at 2-8°C. Buffer P1 with RNase A is stable for 6 months at 2-8°C.2. Before the first use, add all of the RNase A solution to Buffer P1, mix well, and store at 2-8°C. Before use, it needs to be left at room temperature for a period of time, return to room temperature and then use.3. Anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer PW before the first use according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.4. Please check Buffer P2 and Buffer E3 for crystallization or precipitation before use. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, the clarification can be restored by taking a water bath at 37℃ for a few minutes.5. Be careful not to touch Buffer P2 and Buffer E3 directly, and tighten the lid immediately after use.6. The amount and purity of extracted plasmid is related to the concentration of bacterial culture, strain type, plasmid size, plasmid copy number and other factors.7. The adsorption columns treated with Buffer PS should be used immediately to avoid leaving them for too long.Operation steps1.Take 15-50 ml of fresh bacterial solution from the overnight culture, add it to a centrifuge tube (self-prepared) and centrifuge at 5000 × g for 10 minutes to collect the bacteria, and aspirate all the supernatant as much as possible.2.Add 2.5 ml of Buffer P1 to the centrifuge tube in which the bacterial precipitate has been left (please check that RNase A has been added first) and suspend the bacterial precipitate by mixing thoroughly using a pipette or vortex shaker. Note: If the bacterial mass is not thoroughly mixed, it will affect the lysis effect and make the extraction amount and purity low.3.Add 2.5 ml of Buffer P2 to the centrifuge tube, mix gently up and down 8-10 times to fully lyse the organisms, and leave at room temperature for 3-5 minutes. At this point the solution should become clear and viscous. Note: Mix gently, do not shake vigorously, so as not to interrupt the genomic DNA and cause genomic DNA fragments to be mixed in the extracted plasmid. If the solution does not become clear, it suggests that the amount of bacteria may be too large and the lysis is not complete, and the amount of bacteria should be reduced.4.Add 2.5 ml of Buffer E3 to the centrifuge tube and mix immediately by turning up and down 8-10 times, at which time a white flocculent precipitate appears. Note: Buffer E3 should be mixed immediately after addition to avoid localized precipitation.5.Install the cap of the filter (Endo-Remover FX), transfer the solution obtained in step 4 to the filter, wait until the white flocculent precipitate floats on the upper layer of the solution, remove the cap of the filter, align the filter with a clean 15 ml centrifuge tube (supplied), and slowly push the handle (Plungers) to filter, so that as much as possible of the solution passes through, and the filtrate is collected in the centrifuge tube.6.Add 1/3 solution volume of isopropanol to the filtrate and mix upside down.7.Column Equilibrium: Add 1ml Buffer PS to the adsorption column (Spin Columns DX) that has been loaded into a 15ml centrifuge tube, centrifuge for 2 minutes at 2500 x g. Pour off the waste liquid from the centrifuge tube and put the adsorption column back into the centrifuge tube.8.The mixture of filtrate and isopropanol from step 6 was transferred to the equilibrated adsorption column (which had been loaded into a collection tube).9.Centrifuge at 2500 x g for 1 minute, pour off the waste solution in the collection tube and put the adsorption column back into the collection tube. Note: The maximum volume of the adsorption column is 4 ml, so the solution obtained in step 8 is passed through the column in 2 times.10.Add 2 ml of Buffer PW to the adsorption column (please check that anhydrous ethanol has been added first), centrifuge at 2500 × g for 1 min, and pour off the waste liquid in the collection tube.11.Repeat step 10.12.The adsorbent column was put back into the collection tube and centrifuged at 2500 × g for 2 min, the waste liquid was poured off, and the column was left to dry at room temperature for 5 min.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can interfere with subsequent enzymatic reactions (digestion, PCR, etc.)13. Place the adsorption column in a new 15 ml centrifuge tube, add 0.5-1 ml Endo-Free Buffer EB to the middle of the adsorbent membrane, leave it at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge it at 2500 × g for 2 minutes, and collect the plasmid solution into the centrifuge tube. -20°C to store the plasmid.Note: 1) In order to increase the recovery efficiency of the plasmid, the obtained solution can be reintroduced into the adsorption column, left at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuged at 2500 x g for 2 minutes, and the plasmid solution can be collected into a centrifuge tube.2) When the plasmid copy number is low or >10kb, Endo-Free Buffer EB can increase the extraction efficiency by preheating at 65-70°C in a water bath...
