| Description: | The human PDE4D catalytic domain (UniProt no. Q08499 [5380-L740]) was incubated with a mixture of non-labelled cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) and fluorescein amidite (FAM) conjugated cAMP and titrated test or reference compound. Following brief incubation the enzymatic reaction was stopped by addition of binding buffer containing nanoparticles with immobilized trivalent metal ions capable of binding 1) AMP phospho groups and 2) terbium (Tb) donor fluorophores. Subsequent excitation of the Tb donor triggers time-resolved FRET to adjacent FAM acceptor molecules resulting in light emission. In the presence of a PDE4 inhibitor, AMP generation was reduced resulting in a lower fluorescence signal. The cAMP phosphodiester is not bound by the detection system.The results were calculated as the molar concentrations resulting in 50% inhibition of the substrate cleavage compared to controls samples, and are expressed as IC50 (nM). |
