Catalytic properties of Escherichia coli polyphosphate kinase: an enzyme for ATP regeneration.

abstract：:Biologically active membrane proteins are difficult to isolate. Very often the isolated membrane proteins have low binding affinity or no biological integrity at all. Despite some success in isolation, one has to overcome the hurdles of obtaining sufficient quantity of the proteins and maintaining biological activity ...
