Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Fluorescence-Polarization Binding Assay
Description:  The binding affinity of the MDM2 inhibitors was determined using an optimized, sensitive and quantitative fluorescence polarization-based (FP-based) binding assay using a recombinant human His-tagged MDM2 protein (residues 1-118) and a fluorescently tagged p53-based peptide.The design of the fluorescence probe was based upon a previously reported high-affinity p53-based peptidomimetic compound (5-FAM-beta Ala-beta Ala-Phe-Met-Aib-pTyr-(6-Cl-LTrp)-Glu-Ac3c-Leu-Asn-NH2 (SEQ ID NO: 1)) Garcia-Echeverria et al., J. Med. Chem. 43: 3205-3208 (2000)). This tagged peptide is called PMDM6-F. The Kd value of PMDM6-F with the recombinant MDM2 protein was determined from the saturation curve. MDM2 protein was serially double diluted in a Dynex 96-well, black, round-bottom plate, and the PMDM6-F peptide was added at 1 nM concentration. The assay was performed in the buffer: 100 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.5; 100 ug/mL bovine gamma globulin; 0.02% sodium azide, 0.01% Triton X-100).
