FAQs
What is the specific activity of this hexokinase enzyme?
The enzyme has a specific activity of 150 U/mg, where one unit catalyzes the phosphorylation of 1 µmole of glucose per minute at pH 7.5 and 25°C.
Can this hexokinase be used for food industry glucose testing?
Yes, it’s suitable for enzymatic glucose detection in food samples when paired with appropriate assay reagents. Ensure compatibility with your specific test protocol.
How do I reconstitute the lyophilized hexokinase?
Reconstitute in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) containing 5 mM magnesium chloride. Gently swirl to dissolve; do not vortex to avoid denaturation.
What’s the shelf life of this hexokinase enzyme?
The lyophilized form is stable for 2 years at -20°C. After reconstitution, stability is 6 months at -20°C or 1 month at 4°C.
