Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
GTP effect is pH-dependent, pH 7.5: lowers Km value for 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate and increases Vmax 2fold, no effect on Km for uracil, pH 8.0: no effect Escherichia coli

General Stability

General Stability Organism
2-mercaptoethanol, not essential for stability in long-term storage Escherichia coli
ethylene glycol, significantly increases stability with virtually no loss of activity after storage at 4°C for 13 days or after 1 year at -70°C Escherichia coli
GTP, 5 mM with 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, labilizes with only 15% activity remaining after 13 days, labilizing effect abolished in presence of 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate Escherichia coli
