(a) Results of a Thermofluor assay with glucose isomerase using the pH screen, showing the melting temperature for each of the 96 wells. The colour-coding scheme indicates increases in melting temperature by a colour change from light blue to dark blue (largest increase) and decreases by colours from yellow to red (largest decrease). Green signifies either two stages in the melting process or heterogeneous data. (b) Results of a Thermofluor assay with glucose isomerase using the pH screen with 2.5 mM MgCl2 added. Note that in this screen row F was used as a control with only water. Position D1 (pH 4) resulted in double peaks and was automatically marked as grey = unreliable. Position D9 contained a foreign particle and hence gave an unreliable result. N/S stands for no signal which could be owing to a lack of sample or to denatured protein. |
