| Description: | The test compound or water (control) is mixed with the human recombinant PDE4B1 enzyme (4.8 U) in a buffer consisting of 44.4 mM tris-HCl, 5.28 mM MgCl2, 2.64 mM DTT and 0.044% Tween 20 (pH 7.8). After adding the cAMP enzyme substrate (final concentration 40 nM) the mixture is incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then a fluorescence acceptor (Dye2 marked with cAMP), a fluorescence donor (anti-cAMP antibody marked with a europium cryptate) and the non-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine; final concentration 1 mM) are added. After 60 minutes the fluorescence transfer, which correlates with the amount of remaining cAMP, is measured with a microplate reader (Rubystar, BMG) at λex=337 nm, λem=620 nm and λem=665 nm. The enzyme activity is calculated from the quotient formed from the measured signal at 665 nm and that at 620 nm. |
