Biochemical Characterization of an Enzyme by Calculation of Km and Vmax according to the Model of Michaelis and Menten
14 Jun 2015This application note explains the use of TECAN Magellan software together with a TECAN SUNRISE microplate reader for spectrophotometric measurements of an enzymatic assay of alkaline phosphatase in glycine buffer. From the kinetic raw data, the kinetic parameters, maximum reaction velocity Vmax and the Michaelis constant Km, are calculated.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
