Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  The IC50 values for the PHD2 enzyme (residues 181-417) were determined by mixing increasing amounts of inhibitor with a fixed amount of enzyme (5 nM, final concentration) and Biotin labeled peptide (Biotin-Asp-Leu-Glu-Met-Leu-Ala-Pro-Tyr-Ile-Pro-Met-Asp-Asp-Asp-Phe-Gln-Leu, 1 uM final concentration) and 2-Oxyglutarate (2 uM final concentration) in 50 mM HEPES, 50 mM KCl, 0.5 mM TCEP, 2 uM FeCl2, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, at pH 7.3. The reaction was conducted by pre-incubating the enzyme in the presence of inhibitor for 60 min at room temperature. The activity of the free enzyme was measured by adding the peptide, the 2-Oxoglutarate (see above for final concentrations), and Ascorbic Acid (1 mM final concentration). The enzymatic activity was quenched after 60 min by adding an excess of a tight binding inhibitor to the assay mixture. The amount of product released was measured by using a LC/MS system (Agilent HPLC with Applied Biosystems API3000 Mass Spectrometer).
