Background
The detection of phosphate at sub-micromolar levels is critical for studying enzymes with low turnover rates or limited sample availability. Maintaining a sensitive and stable environment for phosphate detection allows for more nuanced observations of metabolic flux.
Pathways
The assay tracks the activity of enzymes within the phosphometabolism network, where phosphate serves as a critical substrate or product. It is involved in downstream signaling of energy-consuming processes like ion transport and molecular motor activity.
