| | Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) Assay |
| Description: | A homogeneous end point electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay is performed using a biotinylated BACE substrate. The Km of the substrate is approximated at 50 uM. A typical reaction contains approximately 0.6 nM enzyme, 0.25 uM of the substrate, and buffer (50 mM Pipes, pH 6.5, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, 0.2% CHAPS, 15 mM EDTA and 1 mM deferoxamine) in a total reaction volume of 100 ul. The reaction proceeds for 1-2 hrs and is then stopped by the addition of 150 uL of a quench cocktail solution (25 ul M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 50 ul INC buffer (2% BSA, 0.2% Tween-20 and 0.05% sodium azide diluted in Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) plus 75 uL PBS), containing Streptavidin coated magnetic beads and ruthenylated antibody which specifically recognizes the C-terminal residue of the product. The samples are subjected to M-384 (Igen Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) analysis. Under these conditions, less than 10% of substrate is processed by BACE 1. |
