Polyphosphate, Medium Chain (p100)

Polyphosphate, Medium Chain (p100)

This polyphosphate (Medium Chain, p100) is heterogeneous in size, with approximate polymer lengths ranging from ~45-160 phosphate units; modal size is about 75 phosphate units.

Highlights

  • Very similar size distribution to natural polyphosphates secreted by platelets

Polyphosphate, a linear polymer of inorganic orthophosphate, which is widespread in living organisms and which plays diverse roles in biology, has recently been shown to be a potent modulator of the human blood clotting system. Its procoagulant activity is dependent on polymer length. This medium chain polyphosphate (p100) is very similar size distribution to natural polyphosphates secreted by platelets.

In addition to being a useful tool for plasma clotting assays, polyphosphate is can be used to study bacterial growth, virulence, and bacterial membrane function.

Comments

Polyphosphate has limited solubility in the presence of divalent metal ions, so make intermediate dilutions in water, or in buffers without divalent metals or polyphosphate-binding proteins.

Reconstitution:
1 - Centrifuge 100mg tube 1 min at 1000 x g to pellet material in bottom of tube.
2 - Reconstitute in 1.0 mL purified water to make a solution of 1 M phosphate (= 102 mg/mL polyphosphate).
NOTE: May be reconstituted in larger volumes to make a more dilute solution as needed.
