Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Kinase Assay
Description:  1. Optimization of kinase concentration required to determine ATP Km,app. The assay was first performed at a high concentration of ATP (1 mM) against a dilution series of kinase in order to determine the amount of kinase required to elicit an approximately 80% change between the minimum and maximum TR-FRET emission ratios (the EC80 value).2. Determination of ATP Km,app. Using the concentration of enzyme determined in step 1, the assay was then performed against a dilution series of ATP in order to determine the amount of ATP required to elicit a 50% change between the minimum and maximum TR-FRET emission ratios (the EC50 value). This concentration of ATP was referred to as the apparent Km value for ATP, or the ATP Km,app.3. Optimization of kinase concentration required for assay at ATP Km,app. Using the ATP Km,app concentration of ATP determined in step 2, the kinase titration was repeated in order to determine the concentration of kinase required to elicit an approximately 80% change between the minimum and maximum TR-FRET emission ratios at the ATP Km,app concentration of ATP (the EC80 value). This was the concentration of kinase that will be used in an assay to determine an IC50 value for a compound of the invention.
