ID: ALA3706113

Type: Binding

Description: ATPase Assay: The conversion of ATP to ADP by S. aureus TopoIV enzyme is coupled to the conversion of NADH to NAD+, and the progress of the reaction is measured by the change in absorbance at 340 nm. TopoIV (64 nM) is incubated with the selected compound (3% DMSO final) in buffer for 10 minutes at 30° C. The buffer consists of 100 mM Tris 7.5, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 200 mM K.Glutamate, 2.5 mM phosphoenol pyruvate, 0.2 mM NADH, 1 mM DTT, 5 μg/mL linearized DNA, 50 μg/mL BSA, 30 μg/mL pyruvate kinase, and 10 μg/mL lactate dehyrodgenase (LDH). The reaction is initiated with ATP, and rates are monitored continuously for 20 minutes at 30° C. on a Molecular Devices SpectraMAX plate reader.
