The E. coli adenylate cyclase complex: Requirements of the PTS protein for the stimulation by nucleotides.
Bicine is a versatile buffer. Its applications last from enzyme reaction buffers (T4 polynucleotide kinase ref. 4; Micrococcus nuclease ref. 5; adenylate cyclase ref. 6) to electrophoresis buffers (3). Bicine interferes with the BCA and Lowry protein assay. Ferricyanide slowly oxidizes bicine. In addition, its strong binding of copper ions may be disturbing. The working concentration lasts from 3 to 100 mM.
