Product Name
SBP | Sedoheptulose-1,7-bis phosphatase positive control/quantitation standard
Background
SBPase (Sedoheptulose-1,7-bis phosphatase) is a chloroplast enzyme involved in the carbon reduction of the Calvin cycle, part of carbohydrate metabolism. Source of SBPase standard: SBPase standard source is Sphingomonas wittichii strain RW1, overexpressed in E.coli bearing an N-terminal his6 tag.
Reconstitution
For reconstitution add 85 µl of sterile water, Please note that this product contains glycerol and might appear as liquid but is provided lyophilized
Expected/apparent MW
27 kDa
Tested applications
Western blot (WB)
Recommended dilution
Standard curve: 3 loads are recommended (0.5, 2 and 4μl).For most applications a sample load of 0.2 μg of chlorophyll/well will give a RbcL signal in this range. Positive control: a 2 μl load per well is optimal for most chemiluminescent detection systems. Higher standard concentration needs to be used to allow detection by Coomasie stains. Such gels with higher standard concentration can not be used for quantitation using chemiluminescence. This standard is stabilized and ready and does not require heating before loading on the gel.Please note that this product contains 10% glycerol and might appear as liquid but is provided lyophilized. Allow the product several minutes to solubilize after adding water. Mix thoroughly but gently Take extra care to mix thoroughly before each use, as the proteins tend to settle with the more dense layer after freezing.
Storage
Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
