Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  Assay buffer (as aforementioned): 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 2 mM DTT, 1 mM CaCl2Final concentrations:100 nM hPAD4 enzyme50 μM (8-fold sub-Km) substrate peptide0.5% DMSOTotal incubation time: 65 mins at 37° C.Stop solution: 40 μl 5% TCA in ACN0.25 μL of compound solution was added to 10 μL of 200 nM PAD4 in assay buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 2 mM DTT). After 5 mins, 10 μL of 100 μM of substrate in buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 2 mM DTT, 2 mM CaCl2) was added and the reaction incubated for 60 mins at 37° C. The enzymatic reaction was quenched by addition of 40 μl of 5% TCA in ACN (1.7% TCA final concentration) stop solution. Arginine containing substrate and citrulline containing product (+1 Da mass shift) were subjected to solid phase extraction on Agilent RapidFire (RF) 300 system and detected on a coupled, triple quadrupole Agilent 6460 QQQ mass spectrometry (MS) device under application of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) for quantitation.
