Abstract
Methods for assay of ATPase rates can be classified into broad categories depending on whether an ATP-regenerating system or a continuous coupled assay is employed versus quenching at discrete times for subsequent analysis for production of Pi or ADP (or, more rarely, for the loss of ATP).
