| Description: | Enzyme activity and inhibition assays were performed by monitoring the NADPH-dependent reduction of dihydrofolate catalyzed by the DHFR enzyme. The rate of NADPH oxidation was measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm in assay buffer containing 20 mM TES pH 7.0, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.5 mM EDTA and 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin. All measurements were performed at room temperature by adding pure enzyme (2 mg/mL), 100 μM NADPH and 100 μM DHF to the buffer. For inhibition assays, inhibitors, dissolved in 100% DMSO, were added to the mixture and incubated for 5 minutes before the addition of DHF. Average IC50 values and standard deviations were measured in triplicate. |
