A1: The amount of enzyme required varies when different substrates are used. Start with 1-2 µl for 1µg of protein for one hour in a 10-25 µl reaction. If there is still unphosphorylated material, let the reaction go overnight.
Q2: What is the consensus sequence for PKA (P6000)?
A2: The consensus sequence is RRXS/TY, where Y tends to be a hydrophobic residue. A phenylalanine in the nearby sequences tends to be a negative determinant for phosphorylation by PKA
