Equipments

  • Fluorometer + PC
  • 1 well plate
  • Plate sticker lid

Reagents

  • Pyruvate kinase
  • rNTPs
  • S30 cell extract (home made)
  • Reaction buffer (home made)
  • Commercial S30 cell extract
  • Commercial Pre-incubation mix
  • Amino Acids
    • Minus Cysteine
    • Minus Leucine
  • pTet DNA plasmid

Steps

  1. Fill an eppendorf tube with two samples (56ul x 2) of home made cell extract including reaction buffer, pyruvate kinase and rNTPs.
  2. Fill a second eppendorf tube with two samples (40ul x 2) of commercial cell extract including the amino acids mixture, and preincubation buffer.
  3. Place a quarter of each sample in a well in the 96 well plate, making up four wells.
  4. In three of the wells, add 20ul of the DNA mixture.
  5. In te last well, add nuclease free water (as a negative control).
  6. Measure the fluorescence at 30 min intervals for the 1st hour, and hourly intervals thereafter.
  7. After each measurement, cover the plate with the sticky lid.
