Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Inhibition Assay
Description:  The NAMPT Enzymatic Reaction. The NAMPT enzymatic reactions were carried out in Buffer A (50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM THP) in 96-well V-bottom plates. The compound titrations were performed in a separate dilution plate by serially diluting the compounds in DMSO to make a 100x stock. Buffer A (89 uL) containing 33 nM of NAMPT protein was added to 1 uL of 100x compound plate containing controls (e.g. DMSO or blank). The compound and enzyme mixture was incubated for 15 min at rt, then 10 uL of 10x substrate and co-factors in Buffer A were added to the test well to make a final concentration of 1 uM NAM, 100 pM 5-Phospho-D-ribose 1-diphosphate (PRPP), and 2.5 mM Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). The reaction was allowed to proceed for 30 min at rt, then was quenched with the addition of 11 uL of a solution of formic acid and L-Cystathionine to make a final concentration of 1% formic acid and 10 uM L-Cystathionine. Background and signal strength was determined by addition (or non-addition) of a serial dilution of NMN to a pre-quenched enzyme and cofactor mix.
