| Description: | To a polystyrene 96-well plate, a solution containing 30 mM glycylglycine (pH 7.3), 40 mM KCl, 20 mM MgCl2, 9.2% DMSO containing one of the test compounds at various concentrations, and 10 mM glucose-6-phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, G7879) was added by 12 uL/well. Next, a substrate solution containing 30 mM glycylglycine (pH 7.3), 4.3 mg/mL of glycogen (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, G8876), 21.6 mM UDP-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, U4625), 21.6 mM phosphoenolpyruvic acid (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, P0564), and 4.05 mM NADH (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, N8129) was added by 18 uL/well. Further, an enzyme solution containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 27 mM DTT (Nacalai Tesque, Inc., 14128-04), 0.2 mg/mL of bovine serum albumin, 0.17 mg/mL of the glycogen synthase, 1.5 uL of a pyruvate kinase/lactate dehydrogenase solution (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, P0294) was added by 18 uL/well to prepare a reaction solution. After the reaction solution was incubated (at 30° C. for 25 minutes for Examples 1 to 10, at 37° C. for 20 minutes for Examples 11 to 75), the absorbance at 340 nm was measured using Benchmark Plus (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). |
