Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Kinase Assay
Description:  The GSK3β kinase assay is run using the Ser/Thr 09 peptide Z-lyte assay kit according to manufacturer's instructions (Life Technologies a Division of Thermo-Fisher). This is a non-radioactive assay using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between coumarin and fluorescein to detect kinase activity which is represented as ratio of coumarin emission/fluorescein emission.Briefly, recombinant GSK3β kinase, ATP and Ser/Thr peptide 09 are prepared in 1× Kinase buffer to final concentrations of 0.04 μg/mL, 46 μM, and 4 μM respectively. The mixture is allowed to incubate with the representative compounds for one hour at room temperature. All reactions were performed in duplicate. Unphosphorylated ( 0% Control ) and phosphorylated ( 100% control ) forms of Ser/Thr 18 serve as control reactions.
