| | Malachite Green ATPase Assay |
| Description: | 1. Dilute test compounds to 500 uM in AR water (DMSO concentration will be 2.5%). Transfer 2.5 ul of these compounds directly from the daughter plate to the assay plate, giving a final assay concentration of 100 uM. To obtain 12 point IC50 values, perform serial dilutions 1:2 to produce a range of assay concentrations from 100 uM to 97.6 nM (2.5% DMSO), and transfer 2.5 uM of each concentration into the assay plate. Column 1 in the assay plate contains no compound, as a negative control. An additional row with no compound is also used as a background.2. Prepare ATP by diluting 100 mM stock to 925 uM with assay buffer, and aliquot 5 ul of diluted ATP to each well including controls (final assay concentration 370 uM).3. Add 5 ul of buffer to background row.4. Dilute enzyme preparation to 1.05 uM with assay buffer, and aliquot 5 uM into each compound well and to the negative control column.5. Collect the reagents to the bottom of the well, cover plate with plate seal and incubate overnight at 37deg C.6. First thing in the morning prepare the Malachite Green Reagent. Add 2 parts of Malachite Green Solution, 1 part of Polyvinyl Alcohol Solution, 1 part of Ammonium Molybdate Solution, and 2 parts of AR water. 7. Invert to mix, and leave for approximately 1 hour until the colour turns from brown to golden yellow.8. Add 40 uM of Malachite Green Reagent to each well, allow 5 mins for colour to develop.9. Add 5 ul of Sodium Citrate Reagent to each well (see comment 2)10. Re-cover with plate seal and shake on plate shaker for at least 15 mins.11. Measure Absorbance at 620 nM using a suitable plate reader (e.g. Victor, Perkin Elmer Life Sciences, Milton Keynes, UK). Under these conditions, the control absorbance is 0.9 to 1.4, and the background is 0.2-0.35 giving a signal to noise ratio of 12. The Z factor calculated from data obtained using these conditions is between 0.6 |
