Gel filtration elution volumes, experimental, and theoretical MW for PKM2 in the presence and absence of Asn, Asp, Val, Val + MgCl2, Val + MgCl2 + PEP, Val + FBP, Asn + Val, Asp + Val, and Ser + Val
All AA concentration was kept fixed at 10 mm. Concentrations of FBP, PEP, and MgCl2 were 1, 5, and 10 mm, respectively.
