| Description: | FabI enzyme inhibition assays were carried out in half-area, 384-well microtitre plates. Compounds were evaluated in 40-μl assay mixtures containing 100 mM NaADA, pH 6.5 (ADA=N-[2-acetamido]-2iminodiacetic acid), 250 μM crotonoyl-CoA, 625 μM NADH and 50 μg/ml S. aureus ATCC 29213 FabI. Inhibitors were typically varied over the range of 50 to 0.39 μM. The reaction mixtures were incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature and the reaction was stopped by adding 200 mM Tris buffer (pH 9.0) to create a pH-shift. The consumption of NADH was monitored by measuring the change in absorbance at 340. By comparing sample readings to those of negative (absence of compound) and positive (absence of enzyme) controls, the percent inhibition of enzymatic activity of the compounds was determined. A best-fit curve is fitted by a minimum of squares method. |
