Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Pharmacological Activity Assay
Description:  To recombinant full-length human prolyl endopeptidase (PREP, R&D-Systems, 4308-SE; final concentration, for example, 0.4 nM, volume: 25 al) in reaction buffer (50 mM Tris-HI, pH 7.5; 150 mM NaCl; 0.13% BSA, 5 mM EDTA, 3 mM GSH, 0.005% Brij-35) was added a test compound (in DMSO, in an appropriate final concentration range from 1 nM to 30 μM, volume: 1 μl) in a well of a 384-well microtiter plate. The reaction was started by adding the substrate Z-GlyPro-AMC (final concentration 50 μl; Z=carboxybenzyl; AMC=7-amino-4-methylcoumarin, volume: 25 μl). The progress of the PREP reaction was observed by measuring the fluorescence intensity in a Tecan SAFIRE II plate spectrophotometer at 3200 over a period of 60 min (excitation wavelength: 360 nm, emission wavelength: 465 nm).
