Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Competitive Displacement Binding Assay
Description:  Modified SMAC peptides and compounds were tested for their ability to displace the fluorescent tracer from either XIAP, cIAP-1 or cIAP-2. BIR3 domains of cIAP-1, cIAP-2 and XIAP were incubated with test compounds or SMAC based peptides and their respective peptide probes (Peptide Protein Research) in assay buffer (50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 0.025% Tween-20, 0.01% BSA, and 1 mM DTT). Positive controls consisted of BIR3 proteins and tracer (no inhibition) and negative controls contained tracer only (100% inhibition). The samples were incubated at room temperature for 1 hr (XIAP and cIAP-2) or 3 hrs (cIAP-1) prior to being read in the BMG Pherastar in Fluorescence Polarization mode (FP 485 nm, 520 nm, 520 nm).
