Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Assay
Description:  MMP2: Protocol 2: The basis for the assay is the cleavage of the substrate 390 MMP FRET substrate I (Anaspec, Catalog n#: AS-27076) by human MMP2 (R&D SYSTEMS INC., Cat #902-MP).For the dose response (10 point), 4 μL of a dilution series of compound (2 mM highest concentration, 1/5 dilution in DMSO further diluted 1 in 10 in water, corresponding to a final highest concentration of 20 μM), is transferred to 384 well Fluotrac 200 plate (Greiner, cat #781076) and incubated at room temperature for 30 min with a 26 μL buffer solution (45 mM Tris pH 7.5, 9 mM CaCl2, 135 mM NaCl, 0.045% Brij35) containing MMP2 (0.03 ng/L) (it will be appreciated by the skilled person that the potency read out is independent of the enzyme concentration).The reaction is initiated by adding to the assay plate 390 MMP FRET substrate I (10 μL, 2.5 μM, Anaspec) in the same buffer.Finally, the fluorescence is read on the Envision (Perkin Elmer) after an incubation of 30 min at room temperature (Excitation 485 nm, Emission 530).
