Thanks.
This has really been quite frustrating. Every time I load my samples (20 to 45 ug per well), I see lines form in the resolving gel and they interrupt the run. The proteins just accumulate on that...

I am noticing that in thermostability assays call for heating the enzyme at the desired temp for a set time and then immediately placing in ice before carrying out the assay (as reported in...

Any suggestions? Perhaps in NaOH and the neutralize to pH 7. I need the pH to be around 7 in the final solution.

If I am using substrate concentration that is much lower than the reported Km of an enzyme, say for example 30x lower, is there a way to compensate for that? Can I just add an excess of enzyme...

So, I'm doing an enzyme assay and there are two compounds in the assay, one a product and the other a cofactor, that absorb at the same wavelength. It makes it very difficult for me to detect...

When you have an antibiotic resistance gene in a plasmid, how do ensure that the enzyme is constitutively expressed so that your selection always works?

I am doing some enzyme assays with a non-native substrate of an enzyme. At a certain concentration, it seems to plateau (as if reaching Vmax) and the graph resembles MM kinetics but when I try...

I've been thinking a lot about this question of late. I suppose most people determine kinetic parameters in terms of Km and Kcat to see how well their substrate is catalyzed by an enzyme. But if a...
