| Description | Fructokinase (FK, EC 2.7.1.4) regulates the interconversion between sucrose and starch and is involved in modulating plant metabolism and growth development. Fructokinase (FK) phosphorylates fructose to generate fructose-6-phosphate. This product is subsequently acted upon by a series of composite Fructokinase (FK, EC 2.7.1.4) regulates the interconversion between sucrose and starch and is involved in modulating plant metabolism and growth development. 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.Component50TStorageExtraction Buffer60 mL2-8℃Reagent 140 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.Add 1.7 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.Add 1.7 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.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.Add 1.7 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), 1 ml quartz cuvette, centrifuge tubes, UV spectrophotometer, 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 500-1000 (x10⁴ cells) : 1 (mL Extraction Buffer) for extraction.3. Liquid Samples: Detect directly. If the sample is turbid, centrifuge and use the supernatant for detection.Assay Procedure1. Preheat the UV spectrophotometer for at least 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 340 nm. Zero the instrument with distilled water.2. Thaw all reagents to room temperature (25°C).3. In a 1 mL quartz cuvette, add sequentially:Reagent (µL)Test CuvetteSample70Reagent 230Reagent 3430Reagent 4580Mix well and incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes. 4. Add:Reagent (µL)Test CuvetteReagent 5305. Mix well. Immediately read the absorbance at 340 nm (A1), and then read again after 15 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 (with a corresponding increase in Reagent 4 volume). 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.

Homogenization: Take 50-100mg of plant tissue and quickly grind it into powder in liquid nitrogen, add 500µl of Buffer RLS (please check whether β-mercaptoethanol is added before use), and immediately mix it by vortexing with vigorous shaking.Note: For materials that are extremely rich in water content, such as watermelon pulp, tomato, pear pulp, etc., more material can be added appropriately, up to 200 mg; for starch-rich samples or mature leaves, the amount of Buffer RLS can be increased appropriately, up to 700 µl.2.
