The disease Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body such as the kidneys. Tuberculosis may be fatal if not treated. Tuberculosis is spread through the air, making it very easy to contract. Symptoms could arise within 2-12 weeks of exposure or may not be seen until a year; this is known as latent TB infection. Symptoms include coughing up blood, chest pain, weight loss, chills, fever, etc. HIV infections increase the likelihood of the latent TB to show symptoms. One-third of the world's population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis, and new infections occur in about 1% of the population each year.

AGK activity was determined by a coupled assay with AGPR measuring the decrease of NADPH by its absorbance at 340 nm. The reaction mixture contained 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), 10 mM // N //-acetylglutamate, 10 mM ATP, 20 mM MgCl 2, 0.2 mM NADPH, and 10 μg AGPR. The reaction was started by the addition of // N //-acetylglutamate. Unless stated otherwise, a reaction mixture without // N //-acetylglutamate served as a reference in the spectrophotometric assay. One unit of AGK activity corresponded to the oxidation of 1 μmol of NADPH per minute at 30 °C. []
