Spectrophotometric kinase activity assays
robust assay format for PKA kinase assays in kinetic mode
Biaffin provides a comprehensive kinase activity analysis by the use of a spectrophotometric assay. The method couples the phosphorylation of substrates by PKA and the resulting conversion of ATP to ADP with a reaction catalyzed by pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase in the presence of phosphoenol pyruvate and NADH which restores the pool of ATP in the assay. For each mole of ADP generated one mole of NADH is oxidized to NAD. Due to to a shift in absorbance from the reduced to the oxidized form of NAD the kinase specific activity is determined from the slope obtained by plotting the initial decrement in absorbance with time. The assay will be performed in 96 well format in kinetic mode.
