Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Enzyme Inhibition Assay
Description:  Compounds were tested for inhibition of sirtuin (SIRT1 or SIRT2) using the human recombinant enzyme provided with the Fluor de Lys fluorescence-based assay kit (BIOMOL) in a 96-well microplate format. Positive controls were provided by the known inhibitors tenovin-6 and cambinol. After incubation, plates were read in a Spectra max Gemini XS fluorimeter with an excitation wavelength of 355 nm and an emission wavelength of 460 nm. IC50 values were determined for compounds that had over 60% inhibition at 60 uM (repeated at least twice).
