Transcreener® ADP² NSP13 Assay

Learn More About Transcreener Method Used for This NSP13 Assay

Discover NSP13 Modulators with the Transcreener ADP2 NSP13 Assay

The Transcreener ADP² Assay directly measures the ADP produced by NSP13 (also known as nonstructural protein 13 or SARS-CoV-2 NSP13 Helicase). These ADP measurements allow researchers to effectively determine the activity of the NSP13 enzyme. The assay provides a powerful tool to screen compound libraries for NSP13 modulators to help find new therapeutic antivirals for SARS-CoV-2.

The kit comes complete with all the detection reagents required to measure activity. NSP13 enzyme is not included in the inhibitor screening assay kit. Please contact us for questions related to acquiring the enzyme.

The Role of NSP13 As Therapeutic Target

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to intense research to find new therapeutics to help treat the disease. As a result, a variety of different targets are currently being explored to help fight the pandemic. As an antiviral target, NSP13 is critical for SARS-CoV-2 replication, thus making it an area of extreme interest to battle the disease.

As one of the 16 known coronavirus nonstructural proteins, NSP13 is the most similar to other forms of the virus, such as MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, making it an exciting target not only for the current pandemic but for future outbreaks as well (White et al. 2020). 

Direct Detection of ADP to Measure NSP13 Enzymatic Activity

NSP13 Assay Schematic

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

ADP FI Kinase Assay

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

ADP TR-FRET ATPase Assay

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

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

    The Transcreener ADP² NSP13 Assay is in a simple, HTS-ready, mix-and-read format. Run your enzyme reaction, add Transcreener reagents, and read your plates. The assay is compatible with 96, 384, and 1536-well formats.

    Detection of ADP Under NSP13 Initial Velocity - FP Readout

    The assay demonstrates linearity when raw data is converted to ADP using a standard curve. Here we use 500 µM ATP with 20 µM dsRNA substrate. Linearity is shown here under initial velocity conditions when raw data is converted to ADP formed. The buffer includes 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM MgCl2, 2.5 mM NaCl, 0.005% Brij, 0.005% BSA, 225 μg/mL ADP2 antibody, and 2 nM ADP Alexa 633 tracer. The NSP13 enzyme reaction took place for 60 minutes at 37ºC in kinetic mode.

    Screen for Inhibitors & Perform SAR

    Transcreener Assays are designed for screening compound libraries in a high throughput format. Follow-up SAR can also be performed using the assay to determine inhibitor potency with ease. Assay conditions include 125 pM NSP13, 500 µM ATP, and 20 µM dsRNA for 60 minutes at 37ºC in kinetic mode.

    Robust Assay Yields Quality Data

    Z’ measurements using optimized NSP13 reaction conditions indicate a robust assay.  Robust data like this is vital for sizeable high throughput screens that are difficult to complete due to massive sample quantity. Both reactions have 0.5 mM ATP, 20 µM dsRNA, and 125 pM NSP13 for an enzyme reaction of 30 minutes at 37°C. Z' shown here = 0.75.
