  • Add 15 uL Protein A/G Beads to tubes and incubate end over end for 1h at 4C
  • Spin down beads for 15s at 14 000 RPM and aspirate with a fine-tipped (or crushed tip) pipet tip
  • Wash beads 2x with Lysis Buffer and 1x with TORC1 Kinase Buffer (-ATP)
  • Add ATP to TORC1 Kinase Buffer at 500uM
  • Add 10 uL GST-S6K1 to beads
  • Add 10 uL TORC1 Kinase Buffer with ATP and mix
  • Incubate at 30C for 30 min, with occasional mixing.
