A simplified assay method is described for the determination of protein kinase activity. Enzymatic activity is followed by measuring the incorporation of 32P from the terminal phosphoryl group of nucleoside triphosphates into protein substrate. Separation of the resulting 32P-labeled phosphoprotein

โฆ Synopsis
A new and rapid method of protein kinase assay is presented which is suitable for low-molecular-weight substrates, irrespective of their electrophoretic or chromatographic mobility. It depends on the phosphorylation of the substrates with [gamma-32P]ATP, hydrolysis of the pyrophosphate bonds by boiling in 1 N HCl, extraction of 32P with isobutanol-benzene, and measurement of the radioactivity of 32P-labeled phosphoesters in the water phase. The method is shown to be suitable for both tyrosine- and serine-phosphorylating protein kinases.
