| | Scintillation Proximity Assay |
| Description: | The scintillation proximity assay (SPA) is designed to measure PARP activity using purified recombinant PARP-1 enzyme and is ideal for high throughput screening of small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery. Here, recombinant human PARP-1 or PARP-2 enzyme was incubated with substrate mix (NAD, 3H-NAD and biotinylated-NAD) and the [3H] and biotin-labeled ADP-ribose polymers were captured using Streptavidin-conjugated PVT SPA beads. In the absence of enzyme inhibition, 100% signal was obtained. Inhibitors are identified by a decrease in signal when PARP-1 or PARP-2 mediated poly-ADP ribose polymer formation is reduced. |
