Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Fluorescence Polarization Assay
Description:  PDE activity was measured using the IMAP fluorescence polarization assay (Molecular Devices) in which binding of hydrolyzed cyclic nucleotide substrate to immobilized metal coordination complexes increases fluorescence polarization (FP). Tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA)-cGMP and fluorescein-cAMP were used as substrates, each at final concentration of 50 nmol/L. The PDE assay was done according to the manufacturer's specifications using either whole cell lysates or recombinant enzymes. FP was measured at excitation, emission wavelengths of either 530,590 nm for TAMRA-cGMP or 485,530 nm for fluorescein-cAMP using a Synergy4 (Biotek) microplate reader.
