Set up the reaction mixtures in a 96-well plate with Amount5 µL 20× reaction buffer (Concentration1 Molarity (M) Tris-HCl, Concentration20 millimolar (mM) MgCl2, Ph7.5 and Concentration2 millimolar (mM) sodium azide), Concentration200 micromolar (µM) 2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine riboside, 0.1 U purine nucleoside phosphorylase, and Concentration9 micromolar (µM) LRRK2 protein or Concentration0.8 micromolar (µM) Dynamin1 or buffers for the control in separate wells.
Note
Note: For best measurement results, we usually use a total volume of Amount80 µL -Amount100 µL .

Pipetting
Preincubate samples in the microplate reader for Duration00:30:00 at Temperature37 °C .
30m
Incubation
Add Concentration0.5 millimolar (mM) GTP (final concentration) to initiate the reaction.
Pipetting
Immediately begin reading absorbance at Thikness360 nm , every Duration00:01:00 over Duration00:45:00 at Temperature37 °C .
46m
For data analysis, subtract the last values determined before GTP was added from the corresponding values for the experimental reaction.
