| Description: | A synthetic APP substrate that can be cleaved by beta-secretase having N-terminal biotin and made fluorescent by the covalent attachment of Oregon Green at the Cys residue is used to assay beta-secretase activity in the presence or absence of the inhibitory compounds. The substrate is Biotin-GLTNIKTEEISEISY^EVEFR-C[Oregon Green]KK-OH. The BACE1 enzyme is affinity purified material from conditioned media of CHO-K1 cells that have been transfected with a soluble BACE construct (BACE1deltaTM96His). Compounds are incubated in a log dose response curve from a top concentration of 100 μM with BACE1 enzyme and the biotinylated fluorescent peptide in 384-well black plates (Thermo Scientific #4318). BACE1 is at a final concentration of 0.1 nM with a final concentration of peptide substrate of 150 nM in a reaction volume of 30 μL assay buffer (100 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.5 (brought to pH with acetic acid), and 0.001% Tween-20). Plates are covered and incubated for 3 hours at 37° C. |
