This kinase assay is meant to determine whether an agonist or event can influence the autophosphorylation of FAK. The addition of 1 μl of polyGT to the kinase reaction mix will determine the activity of the enzyme against a substrate. Includes information on: Harvest, Immunoprecipitation, Kinase Reaction and Antibody Detection of FAK. - [Read FAK Autophosphorylation Assay]
Unlike spherical phage, such as T4 and λ, which have roughly equal weight ratios of protein to DNA, filamentous phage have about six times more protein than DNA; the protein therefore contributes substantially to the absorption spectrum.
