Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  LC-MS Biochemical Assay
Description:  Mutant IDH1 R132H catalytic activity was monitored using the quantitative liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) detection of 2-HG, a product of the NADPH-dependent alpha-KG reduction reaction.More specifically, the biochemical reactions were performed at room temperature in 384-well Greiner flat-bottom plates (Costar, Cat. No. 781201) using a final reaction volume of 30 uL and the following assay buffer conditions: 50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.02% BSA, 5 uM NADPH and 100 uM alpha-KG.The final reaction mixture contained 3.3% DMSO and inhibitors with concentrations ranging 0.02-50 uM. The IDH1 enzyme was used at a final concentration of 0.25 nM. Following 45 minutes incubation, the reaction mixtures were quenched by the addition of 10 uL of 16% formic acid containing 800 nM of 5-carbon labeled 13C-2-HG). The protein was then precipitated by the addition of 2.5 volumes of acetonitrile followed by centrifugation (3000xg, 20 minutes).
