The ATPase assay is a membrane assay that indirectly measures the activity of efflux transporters. ATP Binding Cassette or efflux transporters mediate the transport of substrates across cell membranes against a concentration gradient .
1st-generation ATP tests are derived from hygiene monitoring uses where samples are relatively free of interferences. 2nd-generation tests are specifically designed for water, wastewater and industrial applications where, for the most part, samples contain a variety of components that can interfere with the ATP assay.
This Mg 2+ ion also coordinates with the terminal aspartate residue in the Walker B motif through the attacking H 2 O. [33] [34] [39] A general base, which may be the glutamate residue adjacent to the Walker B motif, [31] [40] [46] glutamine in the Q-loop, [30] [36] [40] or a histidine in the switch region that forms a hydrogen bond with the γ ...
Adenosine triphosphate Adenosine diphosphate Adenosine monophosphate. ATPases (EC 3.6.1.3, Adenosine 5'-TriPhosphatase, adenylpyrophosphatase, ATP monophosphatase, triphosphatase, SV40 T-antigen, ATP hydrolase, complex V (mitochondrial electron transport), (Ca 2+ + Mg 2+)-ATPase, HCO 3 −-ATPase, adenosine triphosphatase) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of ATP into ADP ...
A viability assay is an assay that is created to determine the ability of organs, cells or tissues to maintain or recover a state of survival. [2] Viability can be distinguished from the all-or-nothing states of life and death by the use of a quantifiable index that ranges between the integers of 0 and 1 or, if more easily understood, the range ...
Nitro blue tetrazolium is used in a diagnostic test, [3] particularly for chronic granulomatous disease and other diseases of phagocyte function. When there is an NADPH oxidase defect, the phagocyte is unable to make reactive oxygen species or radicals required for bacterial killing. As a result, bacteria may thrive within the phagocyte.
Phosphorylation of glucose is a key reaction in sugar metabolism. The chemical equation for the conversion of D-glucose to D-glucose-6-phosphate in the first step of glycolysis is given by: D-glucose + ATP → D-glucose 6-phosphate + ADP ΔG° = −16.7 kJ/mol (° indicates measurement at standard condition)
Adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) (also known as ADK or myokinase) is a phosphotransferase enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of the various adenosine phosphates (ATP, ADP, and AMP). By constantly monitoring phosphate nucleotide levels inside the cell, ADK plays an important role in cellular energy homeostasis .
