Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Aldh1a2 Enzyme Inhibition Assay
Description:  Recombinant protein extraction: pET-Aldh1a2 transformed BL21-DE3 cultures induced at 20° C. for 19 h with 0.3 mM IPTG rocking. Cultures were spun at 3500 g for 10 min, supernatants were poured off and allowed to drain fully. Cells were resuspended in 10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM KCl. Cells were freeze-thawed in liquid nitrogen and then a 37° C. water bath for 10 cycles followed by ultrasonication at 50% amplitude, 3 sec on, 9 sec off for 10 cycles at 4° C. Cell extracts were spun at 16000×g for 5 minutes.Reaction performed at 20° C. in reaction buffer (10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM KCl, 0.1 M Resazurin, 1 mg/mL BSA, 200 uM NAD+, diaphorase and aldehyde substrate). Recombinant enzyme and inhibitor added immediately before assay. Reaction rate measured by resorufin fluorescence.
