Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Fluorescence Polarization Assay
Description:  Compounds were additionally tested for specificity of binding by displacement of FITC-labeled mouse NOXA (mNoxa; Peptide 2.0) peptide via fluorescence polarization assay (FP). FP assays were performed in two steps: single-point high-concentration compounds and dose response of fluorescence polarization hits. A1 was added at 3 μM to 100 μM of each compound in 20 mM Tris pH 7, 500 mM NaCl, 0.005% Tween-20 buffer. After addition of 375 nM labeled mNOXA, 96-well plates were incubated overnight at 20° C. in the dark to achieve equilibrium before fluorescence polarization was measured with a Biotek Synergy H2. Autofluorescent compounds and fluorescent quenching compounds were corrected via ratiometric correction as described by Shapiro et al., 2009. Any compounds that showed a significant shift in polarization, along with those identified in the thermal shift assays had a dose response measured via FP.Dose response curves were measured by adding 3 μM A1 to a serial two-fold dilution series of each compound ranging from 400 μM to 781 nM in 20 mM Tris pH 7, 500 mM NaCl, 0.005% Tween-20 buffer. Some compounds were further tested to assess the accuracy of these two-fold dilutions with serial 1.33-fold dilutions. A1, compounds, buffer and lastly, 375 nM FITC-labeled mNOXA were added to each well and incubated in the dark at 20° C. overnight to achieve equilibrium, followed by measurement of polarization. All dose responses were performed in triplicate.
