Figure 2. (a) Schematic stepwise working principle of malachite green adenylation assay. (b) Malachite green adenylation assay: detection of free phosphate liberated from the adenylation process is captured by malachite green solution at 620 nm. Standard phosphate of 0.5 M was used as positive control, and two different concentrations of enzymes (45 µg/mL and 25 µg/mL) were used to determine the enzyme.

Figure 5. Mass spectrometry analysis: (a) MS/MS spectrum of AMP; adenine peak m/z at 136.2 is highlighted in blue color. (b) MS/MS spectrum of streptomycin; two peaks m/z at 263.2 and 176.2 are highlighted in green color (c) MS/MS spectrum of adenylated streptomycin. The stronger spectrum of m/z at 136.2 from AMP and m/z at 263.2 and 176.2 from streptomycin, commonly observed in adenylated streptomycin, is highlighted in blue and green color, respectively.
