This protocol describes a method to extract ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) from diatoms () to determine catalytic performance. This protocol has been adapted from use in cyanobacteria and higher plants (Andrews, 1988; Whitney and Sharwood, 2007). First part (steps A1-A3) of the extraction provides a crude extract of Rubisco that is sufficient for carboxylation assays to measure the Michaelis constant for CO (K) and the catalytic turnover rate ( ). However, the further purification steps outlined (steps B1-B4) are needed for measurements of Rubisco CO/O Specificity (S, [ Kane , 1994 ]).
本方案描述了一种从硅藻中提取1,5 - 二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶加氧酶(Rubisco)以测定其催化性能的方法。该方案改编自用于蓝细菌和高等植物的方法(安德鲁斯,1988年;惠特尼和沙伍德,2007年)。提取的第一部分(步骤A1 - A3)提供了足够用于羧化测定以测量CO的米氏常数(K)和催化周转速率( )的Rubisco粗提物。然而,对于Rubisco CO/O特异性(S,[凯恩,1994年])的测量,需要概述的进一步纯化步骤(步骤B1 - B4)。
