| Thrombin Activity Assay |
Description: | Human thrombin was obtained from Haematologic Technologies Inc. The chromogenic substrate S-2238 was obtained from DiaPharma. Thrombin was assayed in buffer containing 0.05 M Tris (pH 7.4), 0.015 M NaCl and 0.01% PEG-8000. The final concentration of enzyme used was 3 nM thrombin. The final concentration of substrate used was 125 μM S-2238 for thrombin. All assays were performed in 96-well microtiter plates at room temperature (RT). The enzyme and inhibitor were pre-incubated for 10 minutes then substrate was added and read at 405 nm in a SpectraMax Plus Spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices). Inhibitor IC50 values were determined by adding test compound as ten point, three-fold serial dilutions in buffer solution, as known in the art. The plate was read at 10 minutes after substrate addition. |
