Toolkit description |
The Actin-Toolkit Fluorometry is used to determine the polymerization and depolymerization reaction of actin by measuring the fluorescence of Actin647 (ex 645, em 670). By this means it also allows to analyze the interaction of actin with ligands or other components effecting the polymerization or depolymerization. The fluorescence of Actin647 is maximally increased upon polymerization. The Actin-Toolkit Fluorometry is suitable to measure the effect on actin polymerization of purified ligands, cell or tissue extracts.
The Actin-Toolkit Fluorometry all-in-one kit contains all components to measure the effects of native or recombinant proteins or fragments, lipids or other ligands on actin dynamics. The kit contains 4x1mg pure rabbit skeletal muscle Actin647 ready for fluorometrical analysis, plus . Actin buffers are included to keep the actin functional and to vary e.g. the Ca++-concentration.
A handbook with a detailed description of experimental setups guides the user for safe, error-free handling of Actin647. We guarantee stable performance of the kit components for 6 months when stored at -70°C upon arrival. |
