Assay Report Card

ID: ALA3705825

Type: Binding

Description: Inhibition Assay: Protein Kinase C beta 2 (PKC beta II) catalyzes the production of ADP from ATP that accompanies the phosphoryl transfer to the PKC Pseudosubstrate peptide (A->S, RFARKGSLRQKNV). This transfer is coupled to the oxidation of p-NADH through the activities of Pyruvate Kinase (PK) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH). (3-NADH conversion to NAD+ is monitored by the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm (e=6.22 cm-1 mM-1) using a Molecular Devices SPECTRA max PLUS spectrophotometer.A typical assay was carried out on a 96-well, clear microtiter plate in a Molecular Devices spectrophotometer for 20 minutes at 30 C. in 0.1 mL of assay buffer containing 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 5 nM PKC, 23 units of pyruvate kinase, 33 units of lactate dehydrogenase, 0.15 mM peptide, 0.1 mM ATP, 1 mM DTT, 4 mM PEP, 8 mM MgCl2, 0.3 mM NADH, 60 mM CaCl2, 10 mg/mL PS, 50 ng/mL PMA, 7.5% DMSO and from about 10,000 nM to 0.169 nM compound inhibitor.
