Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Assay
Description:  Using a GE Biacore 8K SPR instrument, avi-tagged SOS1 catalytic domain protein was immobilized to a level of approximately 6000 response units (RU) on a streptavidin-coated SPR sensor chip in assay buffer containing 0.01 M HEPES, 0.15 M NaCl and 0.05% v/v Surfactant P20. In assay buffer containing 2% DMSO, concentration series of test compounds were generated spanning 5 μM to 4.9 nM over ten 2-fold dilutions. For each test compound, a separate 0 μM sample was generated for use during subsequent double reference subtraction. Serially for each test compound, individual dilution samples were flowed over the immobilized SOS1 protein at a flow rate of 50 μL/minute to monitor the association with SOS1. Dissociation of bound test compound from the SOS1 protein was immediately monitored by flowing assay buffer over the sensor surface and monitoring the decrease in binding signal back to the baseline level seen in the absence of compound. This was repeated for all compound dilutions in each series.
