The enzyme activity was measured at 50°C using 5 mM glucose and 2 mM ATP as substrates in the presence of 4 mM Mg2+.
Yield and purification were calculated with respect to the DEAE-Sepharose chromatography step.
The enzyme activity was determined by subtracting the GDH activity from the value obtained with a G6PDH-coupled assay.
