| Description: | Kinase enzymatic reactions were performed in 384-well microplates using a 12-channel Caliper LabChip instrument as a detection device. The enzymatic phosphorylation of a peptide results in a change in net charge, enabling electrophoretic separation of product from substrate. As substrate and product are separated, two peaks of fluorescence are observed. Change in the relative fluorescence intensity of the substrate and product peaks is the parameter measured, reflecting enzyme activity. In the presence of an inhibitor, the ratio between product and substrate is altered. The signal of the product decreases, while the signal of the substrate increases.For the measurement of CDK2/cyclinE activity, enzyme (0.22 nM) was incubated with 100 mM ATP and the phosphoacceptor substrate peptide (1 mM) for one hour. For the measurement of CDK4/CyclinD activity, enzyme (0.85 nM) was incubated with 200 mM ATP and the phosphoacceptor substrate peptide (1 mM) for three hours. Potential inhibitor compounds (as HCl salts) were tested using 12-point dose response curves in single point at the Km for ATP. The IC50 of each compound was determined using GraphPad Prism. |
