| | Omnia Kinase Assay |
| Description: | Trk enzymatic selectivity was assessed using Omnia Kinase Assay reagents from Invitrogen Corp. Enzyme (either TrkA or TrkB from Invitrogen Corp.) and test compound (various concentrations) were incubated for 10 minutes at ambient temperature in a 384-well white polypropylene plate (Nunc catalog #267462). Omnia Tyr Peptide #4 (for TrkA) or #5 (for TrkB), as well as ATP, were then added to the plate. Final concentrations were as follows: 20 nM enzyme, 500 μM of ATP for TrkA assay or 1 mM ATP for TrkB assay, 10 μM peptide substrate. The assay buffer consisted of 25 mM MOPS pH 7.5, 0.005% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 5 mM MgCl2. The production of phosphorylated peptide was monitored continuously for 70 minutes using a Molecular Devices FlexStation II384 microplate reader (excitation=360 nm; emission=485 nm). Initial rates were calculated from the progress curves. IC50 values were then calculated from these rates using either a 4 or 5-parameter logistic curve fit. |
