Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) Assay
Description:  The recombinant human BACE1, Cathepsin D, and Cathepsin E enzymes were purchased from R&D Systems (catalog numbers are 931-AS, 1014AS and 1294AS, respectively). The enzymatic inhibition activity assays were determined using the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay. The assays were performed in a 384-well plate format. The recombinant human BACE-1 enzyme (R&D Systems, catalog#931-AS) was diluted to 20 ng/μL in assay buffer (100 mM sodium acetate pH 4.0), 10 point 1:3 serial dilutions of compound in DMSO were preincubated with the enzyme for 15 min at room temperature. The concentration of Cathepsin D was 20 ng/μL, and 1 ng/μL of Cathepsin E was used. CatD and CatE were activated by incubation in assay buffer (0.1 M NaOAc, 0.2 M NaCl, pH 3.5) at room temperature for 30 min. Subsequently, the rhBACE-1 substrate (R&D Systems, catalog# ES004), the Cathepsin D and Cathepsin E substrate (R&D Systems, Catalog # ES001) were added accordingly to final concentration
