Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biological Assay (AR)
Description:  Compounds were solubilised in 100% DMSO to achieve 100 mM final compound concentration. Compound stock solutions were stored at RT. A series of dilutions were prepared in DMSO and mixed 8 times with 20 μL mixing volume. Final assay conditions were as follows: Reaction volume: 20 μl Assay buffer (as aforementioned): 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 2 mM DTT, 1 mM CaCl2) Final concentrations: −100 nM hPAD4 enzyme −50 μM (8-fold sub-Km) substrate peptide −0.5% DMSO Total incubation time: 65 mins at 37° C. Stop solution: 40 μl 5% TCA in ACN0.25 μL of compound solution was added to 10 μL of 200 nM PAD4 in assay buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 2 mM DTT). After 5 mins, 10 μL of 100 μM of substrate in buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 2 mM DTT, 2 mM CaCl2)) was added and the reaction incubated for 60 mins at 37° C. The enzymatic reaction was quenched by addition of 40 μl of 5% TCA in ACN (1.7% TCA final concentration) stop solution. Arginine containing substrate were subjected to solid phase extraction on Agilent RapidFire (RF) 300 system and detected on a coupled, triple quadrupole Agilent 6460 QQQ mass spectrometry (MS) device under application of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) for quantitation.
