METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING PROTEIN POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for analyzing reactions.SOLUTION: The method includes the steps of providing a solution of at least one acceptor chemical and at least one donor chemical. The donor chemical is capable of donating a chemical moiety to the acceptor chemical. The solution includes at least one controller chemical that affects the reaction between the donor chemical and the acceptor chemical. The solution is then incubated so that a portion of the acceptor chemical reacts with the donor chemical to form an acceptor product. Unreacted donor chemical is separated from the acceptor product. The acceptor product or the donor chemical is then measured using X-ray fluorescence. A further analyzing method is disclosed.
