Which is more sensitive?&#10;Potassium and magnesium serve different roles in cells, and magnesium is prone to binding things like ATP, ADP, GDP, DNA, RNA, etc. This means that other components in the CFPS composition change the effective concentration of magnesium. Overall, magnesium is more sensitive, as it has a narrower optimal concentration.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/heather-qian/week-03-hw-cell-free/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
