Transcreener® ADP² ATPase Assay Kits

Case Study: Probing P97 with the Transcreener ADP² ATPase Assay

Transcreener ADP2 ATPase Assay

Transcreener ADP2 ATPase Assay directly measures ADP produced by ATP hydrolysis without use of coupling enzymes. These ADP measurements allow researchers to effectively determine the activity of the ATPase enzyme. The assay provides a powerful tool to screen compound libraries for ATPase modulators to help find new therapies for disease. 

The kit comes complete with the detection reagents required to measure activity. ATPase enzyme is not included in the inhibitor screening assay kit. Please contact us for questions related to acquiring the enzyme.

Transcreener ATPase Assay kits provides a sensitive, HTS capable platform as demonstrated in millions of wells and multiple publications. In this peer-reviewed article, learn how researchers at Cancer Research UK used the sensitivity of Transcreener ATPase Assay as an HSP90 and HSP72 activity assay when the malachite green technique wasn't sensitive enough for their drug discovery.

How Does This ATPase Assay Work?

The Transcreener ADP Assay determines ATPase enzyme activity by directly measuring the ADP formed by the enzyme during ATP hydrolysis. By detecting ADP output, the assay provides a universal method to assess the activity of any ADP-producing enzyme in real-time.

Transcreener ATPase Assay technology uses a simple but highly effective method that consists of an antibody selective to ADP over ATP and a far-red fluorescent tracer. ADP produced in the reaction competes with the tracer changing the fluorescent properties and providing fluorescent readout.

The ATPase assay is available with FP, FI, and TR-FRET. It is a simple mix-and-read format. Perform your enzyme reaction, add the detection reagent, and measure. The simplicity of the system yields robust results that also makes it extremely amiable to HTS.

Direct Detection of ADP to Measure ATPase Enzymatic Activity

Fluorescent Polarization (FP)

The workhorse. Used in many large screens. Best deck and signal stability.

Fluorescent Intensity (FI)

ADP FI Kinase Assay

Positive FI signal. Compatible with simple fluorescence plate readers. Faster read time than FP or TR-FRET.

Time-Resolved Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET)

ADP TR-FRET Kinase Assay

For customers who prefer TR-FRET detection. Uses the same filter set as HTRF®.

Kinetic Mode Capable

Transcreener ADP² Kits can be used in kinetic mode, allowing the assay to be used in applications not possible with endpoint assays methods. With this capability, you can measure the residence times of inhibitors with a simple biochemical assay to pick leads with the greatest potential to become drugs.

Fewer False Positives

Direct detection of ADP reduces the degree of interference seen with coupling enzyme-based assays, lowering the number of false positives.

Far-red tracers eliminate fluorescent compound interference. Reduce your time triaging false hits and spend it finding druggable leads.

Universal Method

The universal nature of Transcreener ATPase Assay allows for the screening of virtually any ATPase enzyme. Universal assays also provide an effective technique for difficult targets. Get ahead of the curve with assays ready for emerging targets.

Easy-to-Use, Mix-and-Read, HTS-Ready Assay

Biochemical ATPase Assay Steps

Run your enzyme reaction, add Transcreener reagents, and read your plates. The ATPase assay is compatible with 96, 384, and 1536-well formats.  

Low Quantity of Enzyme Required

The high affinity of the ADP antibody generates sensitive and robust detection of ADP down to 10 nM with Z’ values of 0.7 or greater. As a result, less enzyme is required for your experiments.

p97 ATPase Enzyme Titration

The ADP FP Assay window at 10% conversion (0.5 µM ADP). The recommended enzyme concentration was an EC80 of 20 ng/mL. The assay demonstrated a Z' of 0.87 and a lower limit 0f detection at 0.06 μM ADP under these conditions.

Stable Reagents and Assay Signal

Reagents are stable at room temperature for a minimum of 8 hours. The fluorescent signal stability of Transcreener ADP² Assays lasts at least 24 hours. This provides the flexibility necessary to perform large automated screens.

Sensitive Initial Velocity Detection Over a Broad ATP Range

Easily detects less than 10% ATP conversion using 0.1 to 1,000 µM ATP, assuring accurate inhibitor potencies and minimizing enzyme and substrate costs.

ADP ATPase Assay Detection Modes v6

ADP/ATP standard curves for a broad range of initial ATP concentrations (0.1 μM to 1000 μM ATP) using the FP, TR-FRET and FI assay respectively. ADP was increased as total ATP + ADP was held constant. Antibody was adjusted based on a linear relationship between EC85 and initial ATP. All assays were performed in 384-well plates (n=24) and read on the Tecan Safire 2 (FP), BMG Labtech PHERAstar Plus (TR-FRET), or the Perkin Elmer EnVision (FI) multimode plate readers.

ATPases As Drug Targets

ATPases are large macromolecular biological catalyst enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis from ATP to ADP. As the enzyme hydrolyzes ATP, it yields a free phosphate ion, ADP, and energy. Adenosine triphosphate-hydrolyzing enzymes, or ATPases, play a principal role in a wide variety of cellular functions.

ATPase inhibitors are attractive molecular targets for drug discovery. A well-known ATPase inhibitor is the popular pharmaceutical, omeprazole. Omeprazole targets the H+/K+-ATPase system by using selective and irreversible inhibition of the proton pump in the gastric parietal cells. They are also targeted for other areas of health and disease because of their wide variety of cellular functions. Finding therapeutic methods to reign in overactivity requires selective technologies that can help assess the ability to interact with the target. Robust, HTS-ready assays that are accurate yet flexible provide a powerful tool to accelerate discovery.
