Description
Phosphodiesterases control a variety of cellular processes by hydrolyzing the second messenger signaling molecules cAMP and cGMP. The Transcreener AMP/GMP Assay is a far-red, competitive fluorescence polarization immunoassay that detects the reaction products AMP or GMP. Enzyme reaction progress is indicated by a decrease in the fluorescence polarization signal. The Transcreener AMP/GMP Assay is a simple two-step, endpoint assay accomodating cAMP/cGMP concentrations of 0.1 to 10 μM with a single reagent mix (up to 1 mM substrate has been used). The assay provides an excellent signal under initial velocity conditions resulting in overall Z’> 0.6. Although originally designed for PDEs that hydrolyze cAMP or cGMP, the Transcreener AMP/GMP Assay can be used for any enzyme class that produces either AMP or GMP (eg: a ligase reaction which converts ATP to AMP). Reduced development costs and accelerated drug discovery are achieved by utilizing this one simple streamlined screening method.
The Transcreener AMP/GMP Detection Mixture comprises an AMP/GMP Alexa633 tracer bound to an AMP/GMP antibody, which is displaced by AMP or GMP, the products generated during PDE reactions. The displaced tracer freely rotates leading to a decrease in fluorescence polarization, relative to the bound tracer. Therefore, AMP/GMP production creates a proportional decrease in polarization values.
