Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  AKT Enzyme Assay
Description:  A TTP Mosquito liquid handling instrument is used to place 125 nl of the appropriate concentration of inhibitor in 100% DMSO (for a dose response curve calculation) into each well of a 384-well plate. To this reaction components are added to a final volume of 12.5 .mu.l: 0.1 ng/.mu.l His-AKT (Full Length), (Invitrogen, Part # P2999, Lot #641228C). 160 uM ATP (Fluka, 02055) 1 mM DTT (Sigma, D0632) 1 mM MgCl2 (Sigma, M1028) 1 .mu.M substrate peptide (sequence FITC-AHA-GRPRTSSFAEG-NH2), synthesized by Tufts Peptide Synthesis service. 100 mM HEPES pH 7.5 (Calbiochem, 391338)0.015% Brij-35 (Sigma, B4184)The reaction is incubated for 90 min at 25 C, and then stopped by the addition of 70 .mu.l of Stop buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij-35, 10 mM EDTA (Sigma, E7889)).The plate is read on a Caliper LC 3000 in an Off-Chip mobility shift assay format, using the following parameters for a 12-sipper chip: screening pressure -2.3 psi, upstream voltage -500, and downstream voltage -3000.
