Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Caliper Kinase Assay
Description:  The analyses were performed in U-bottom 384-well plates. The final assay volume was 30 μl prepared from 15 μl additions of enzyme and substrates (fluoresceinated peptide and ATP) and test compounds in assay buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.015% Brij35 and 4 mM DTT). The reaction was initiated by the combination of purified protein kinase with substrates and test compounds. The reaction was incubated at room temperature for 60 min. and terminated by adding 30 μl of 35 mM EDTA to each sample. The reaction mixture was analyzed on the Caliper LABCHIP 3000 (Caliper, Hopkinton, Mass.) by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to no enzyme control reactions for 100% inhibition and vehicle-only reactions for 0% inhibition. The ATP was used at a final concentration equivalent to the Km and the peptide substrate concentration was 1.5 μM. Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required to inhibit 50% of kinase activity (IC50). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and evaluated at eleven concentrations.
