Which is more sensitive?&#10;K-Glu supports the general conductive/ionic environment of the cell-free lysate, which has a direct effect on ribosome, enzyme, and protein–nucleic acid binding (ex. transcription) function. The concentration range for effectiveness is broad. Mg-Glu supplies magnesium ions that directly bind to ribosomes, tRNAs, TX/TL enzymes, and ATP/NTPs. Mg-Glu concentration is highly sensitive, and this concentration is far more sensitive.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/carson-billingsley/week-03-hw-cell-free/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
