LITERATURE
K+
coactivation occurs if K+ is applied together with Mn2+ or Mg2+. With Mn2+, a high UDP reaction rate and high molecular mass of hyaluronic acid (2.45 MDa after 8 h) are achieved. With Mg2+, a low reaction rate and low molecular mass (1.55 MDa after 8 h) are reached. If 10 mM K+ are added to 15 mM Mg2+, a significant increase of the reaction rate by a factor of 2.7 is observed, and the molecular mass is doubled (3.11 MDa after 8 h). The coactivating effect of K+ together with Mn2+ is less pronounced
