Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  BCL-2/Bad BH3 Peptide (BCL-2 Assay)
Description:  The dose-dependent inhibition by the compounds described in this invention of the interaction between BCL-2 and the BH3 domain of Bad (both human) was determined using a steady state binding competition assay with time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) readout. For that purpose BCL-2 (amino acids 1-211, C-terminal fused to a hexahistidine (6Ă—His) tag (SEQ ID 5) and a synthetic Bad BH3-derived peptide of sequence Biotin-PEG2-PEG2-NLWAAQRYGRELRR-Nle-SDEFVDSFKK-amide (SEQ ID 4) served as protein receptor and tracer ligand respectively. The recombinant BCL-2 protein (expressed in E. coli) was purchased from BPS Bioscience (San Diego, Calif., USA). The Bad BH3-derived peptide can be obtained from e.g. Biosyntan (Berlin, Germany).
