Optimization of the KG/PEP ratio in different KG phosphorylation reactions with ATP regeneration. (A) Reactions were performed in 1 mL of Tris-HCl buffer 50 mM and 50 μmol of the limiting substrate at different ratios of KG/PEP (1.0/0.5 (●), 1.0/0.7 (○), and 1.0/0.9 (▼), 1.0/1.1 (∆)) and a control reaction with no ATP (■). (B) Reactions were performed in 2 mL of Tris-HCl buffer 50 mM and 40 μmol of the limiting substrate at different ratios of KG/PEP (1.0/0.5 (●) and 1.0/0.7 (○)) and a control reaction with no ATP (■). (C) Reactions were performed in 2.5 mL of Tris-HCl buffer 50 mM and 35 μmol of the limiting substrate employing a KG/PEP ratio of 1.0/0.8.
