| Name | Initial Conc. (uM) td> | Volume (fL) | Buffered |
1 | inhibited-PKA | 0 | 1000 | No |
| This is the inhibitor bound to PKA. |
2 | PKA-inhibitor | 0.25 | 1000 | No |
| About 25% of PKA C subunit is dissociated in resting cells without having any noticable activity. Doskeland and Ogreid Int J biochem 13 pp1-19 suggest that this is because there is a corresponding amount of inhibitor protein. |
3 | R2-cAMP4 | 0 | 1000 | No |
| The regulatory subunit with 4 cAMPs but the catalytic subunit has been released. |
4 | R2C-cAMP4 | 0 | 1000 | No |
| |
5 | R2C2 | 0.5 | 1000 | No |
| This is the R2C2 complex, consisting of 2 catalytic (C) subunits, and the R-dimer. See Taylor et al Ann Rev Biochem 1990 59:971-1005 for a review. The Doskeland and Ogreid review is better for numbers. Amount of PKA is about .5 uM. |
6 | R2C2-cAMP | 0 | 1000 | No |
| One cAMP bound to site B1 on the regulatory subunits. |
7 | R2C2-cAMP2 | 0 | 1000 | No |
| One cAMP bound to each of the B sites on the regulatory subunits. |
8 | R2C2-cAMP3 | 0 | 1000 | No |
| 3 cAMPs now bound. |
9 | R2C2-cAMP4 | 0 | 1000 | No |
| All the regulatory subunits now have cAMP bound. This state is ready to dissociate and to release the catalytic subunit. |
