We recommend a reaction with 20-50 mM buffering agent at a pH between 7.5-8.0. Additionally, magnesium should be present at ≥ 5mM for maximal activity. Manganese is not required but we observe an increase in activity when this divalent cation is present above 5 mM. ATP is necessary, but the enzyme is active over a broad range of concentrations (10 nM-1 mM).
