 Description: Adenosine 5´-Triphosphate (ATP) serves as the phosphoryl donor in protein kinase assays, with apparent Km values for most protein kinases below 100 µM (1).
Purity: >99% pure.
Suggested Working Concentration:If possible, the ATP concentration should be at or near saturation (5 -10-fold over Km).
However, if the objective is to measure enzyme activity using gamma-labeled ATP, it is best to use 100-200 μM ATP in order to have higher specific activity of gamma-labeled ATP (100-500 cpm/pmol). Also, an excess of substrate should be used, and the level of phosphorylation should not exceed 10% for determination of the initial rate.
To phosphorylate a protein or peptide substrate to completion, the ATP concentration should be about 5-fold over the limited substrate concentration. Higher enzyme concentration and prolonged incubation times should be employed (1).
