Determined using 4,4-dithiodipyridine (DTP) to detect the formation of CoA at 324 nm (ε = 19.8 mM–1 cm–1) at 25 °C. Standard reaction conditions consisted of 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5), 12 mM MgCl2, 50 μM DTP, and at least 5–10 times the Km value for the nonvaried substrate (AcCoA or KIV).
Activity could not be determined above the detection limit of the assay.
Determined using 1 mM AcCoA.
