| 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.Assay Principle The reverse reaction catalyzed by PPDK converts phosphoenolpyruvate, AMP, and PPi into pyruvate, ATP, and Pi. Lactate dehydrogenase then further catalyzes the reaction of pyruvate and NADH to produce lactate and NAD+. The decrease in NADH is measured at 340 nm, and the rate of this decrease is used to calculate PPDK activity.Component50TStorageExtraction Buffer60 mL2-8℃Reagent 160 mL2-8℃Reagent 22 EA-20℃Reagent 360 µL2-8℃Note for Reagent 3: The volume is small.

Avoid freeze/thaw cycle Product Introduction:This kit uses the principle of SYBR Green I chimeric fluorescent dye method for miRNA fluorescence quantitative PCR detection. The kit includes 2 x miRNA qPCR Mixture and Reverse Primer required for detection. 2 x miRNA qPCR Mixture is a new generation pre mixed form of fluorescence quantitative PCR detection reagent specially developed for miRNA quantitative detection. The fluorescent dye SYBR Green I contained in it can bind to all double stranded DNA, making the product suitable for detecting different target sequences without the need to synthesize specific labeled probes. The GoldStar Taq DNA polymerase is a chemically modified and highly efficient thermal starter enzyme, coupled with a unique buffer system, which enhances reaction specificity, sensitivity, and enables accurate quantification of miRNA over a wider range. The 2x miRNA qPCR Mixture contains ROX dye and is suitable for fluorescence quantitative PCR instruments that require ROX as a calibration dye.Note: This kit must be used in conjunction with the miRNA cDNA first strand synthesis kit.Self prepared experimental materials: qPCR upstream primer.Forward Primer design principles:1. Follow the most common principles of primer design.2.Based on mature miRNA sequences, replacing U with T is the most basic and simplest design method.3.The Tm value of the downstream primer provided in the reagent kit is 63.6 ℃, and the Tm value of the upstream primer should be designed to be around 63.6 ℃ as much as possible.4. If the Tm value of the primer directly designed according to principle "2" is too low, several bases (preferably G or C bases) can be added to the 5 'end of the primer; One or several A bases can also be added at the 3 'end; Alternatively, both the 5 'and 3' ends can be modified simultaneously.5.If the Tm value of a primer designed directly according to principle "2" is too high, several bases can be removed from the 5 'or 3' end of the primer.Notes:1. Before using the reagent, please gently mix it upside down to avoid foaming, and use it after a brief centrifugation.2. The amount of miRNA first strand cDNA added should not exceed 10% of the volume of Real time PCR.3. For special detection systems, high content of cDNA templates can easily lead to non-specific amplification. Dilute cDNA appropriately (10 or 100 times dilution) based on the abundance of detected miRNAs.4. The 2x miRNA qPCR Mixture in this product contains SYBR Green I and ROX dyes. When storing this product or preparing PCR reaction solution, strong light exposure should be avoided.5. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of this product. Repeated freezing and thawing may cause a decrease in product performance. This product can be stored at -20 ℃ for long-term storage. If frequent use is required in the short term, the 2xmiRNA qPCR Mixture can be stored at 2-8 ℃. However, the Reverse primer still needs to be stored at -20 ℃.Operation steps:1. Melt 2 x miRNA qPCR Mixture and Reverse Primer at room temperature (10 µ M). 2. When using, please gently mix the 2x miRNA qPCR Mixture upside down to avoid foaming, and use after brief centrifugation. If the reagent is not well mixed, its reaction performance will decrease.3.

Usage1. Depending on the type of sample, prepare the appropriate sample size according to the table below.2. Add the sample to a 1.5-mi centrifuge tube and add the recommended volume of Solution A as shown in the table below. Vortex for 20 s and allow to stand at room temperature for 3-5 min or incubate in a metal bath at 95°C for 3-5 min as recommended in the table below.3. After the sample has been sufficiently lysed (samples incubated in a metal bath at 95°C should be brought to room temperature), add the recommended volume of Solution B as shown in the table below and vortex for 30s.4. Store processed samples at 4°C if the next test is to be performed within 2 hours, or at -20°C if the next test cannot be performed immediately.take note of1) Depending on the requirements of the experimental conditions, the amount of samples can be expanded or reduced, and the amount of Solution A and Solution B can be increased in equal proportions.2) For blood and cell samples, the temperature of room temperature lysis is required to be around 25C. If the ambient temperature does not reach 25°, the lysis time can be extended appropriately, or the vortex shaking time can be extended to ensure that the samples are fully lysed. If there is no relevant professional instrument, the centrifuge tube can be shaken vigorously to ensure adequate lysis.3) After the tissue sample is made into tissue homogenate by adding 10 times the volume of saline, it can be processed in the same way as blood samples.4) Strictly prohibit the use of expired products, please do not mix different reagents.5) laboratory supplies should be regularly cleaned and 10% of the 84 disinfectant solution or ultraviolet lamp for anti-pollution treatment, special areas dedicated to prohibit cross use, so as to avoid contamination, the end of the test, the bench should be cleaned immediately...
