A Continuous Fluorimetric Assay for ATPase Activity
Overview
Affiliations
A new continuous coupled fluorimetric assay is described for ATPases in general. Thus phosphate released from ATP hydrolysis is coupled to the nucleoside phosphorylase reaction using 7-methylguanosine as a fluorescent substrate for the nucleoside phosphorylase reaction. The hydrolysis of 7-methylguanosine leads to 7-methylguanine, which has lower quantum yield and hence can be used to monitor ATP hydrolysis continuously. The method has the potential to be extended to GTPase and nucleotidyltransferase assays.
