Abstract
A first-order assay to detect the activity of nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDP-kinase; EC 2.7.4.6) was developed. In this assay, the activity of NDP-kinase is measured using various deoxy- and ribonucleotide triphosphates as phosphate donors and dADP as phosphate acceptor. The enzyme activity is determined by quantifying, after anion-exchange HPLC, the amount of newly synthesized dATP. Contrary to the most common coupled enzymic assays or isotopic assays the use of different donor-acceptor pairs is not restricted. The resolution of the procedure described is limited only by the chromatographic separation of substrate and product pairs participating in the reaction.
