Type: Binding

Description: Time Resolved-Fluorescence Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) Assay: Stock DMSO solutions (1.8 mM) of compounds were serially diluted 3-fold for ten concentrations with 100% DMSO (50 μM to 0.003 μM final compound concentration). 1 μl of these compound dilutions and 1 μl of Bodipy labeled fatty acid 4.5 μM in 100% DMSO (Bodipy FL C11, cat. no. D3862, Invitrogen) were sequentially pipetted in wells of 384-well black polypropylene plates (Thermo Matrix cat. no. 4344). FABP4 or FABP5 protein was then added (28 μl of 64 nM protein in 25 mM Tris pH 7.5, 0.4 mg/ml α-globulin, 1 mM DTT, 0.012% NP40, final protein concentration: 50 nM). Assay blanks contained ligand, but no protein. Neutral controls contained ligand, but no compound. After adding the detection reagent (Tb antiHis6 antibody, Columbia Biosciences, TB-110, 6 μl of a 24 nM Ab solution in 25 mM Tris pH 7.5, 0.4 mg/ml γ-globulin, final Tb antiHis6 Ab concentration: 4 nM), plates were spun one minute at 1000 rpm.
