TGR Assay Protocol

Step Parameter Value Description
1 Reagent 3 μl Enzyme and no-enzyme solutions
2 Library compounds 23 nl 57.2 μM–28 nM titration series
3 Incubation time 15 min Compound interaction with targets
4 Reagent 1 μl Second equivalent of NADPH
5 Reagent 1 μl Substrate
6 Assay readout 405 nm Absorbance kinetic read
Step notes
1 Black clear-bottom plates, 15 nM TGR and 100 μM NADPH final concentrations.
2 Pintool transfer of DMSO solutions of test compounds.
3 Room temperature incubation.
4 Solution of 500 μM NADPH; necessary in order to minimize the effect of noninhibitory redox cyclers that might exhaust NADPH during step 3 and thus give the erroneous appearance of inhibition.
5 DTNB at 3 mM final concentration.
6 ViewLux CCD imager (PerkinElmer), 405/10 nm excitation filter, excitation energy 4,000, exposure time 2 s, clear emission filter, one read per 120 s for 8 min
