A solid immunoassay for the detection of protein tyrosine kinases has been developed. It is based on the binding of the synthetic polypeptide poly(Glu.Na,Tyr) 4:1 to microELISA wells, where the phosphorylation reaction takes place in the presence of ATP and enzyme. The phosphorylated tyrosine residu

β¦ Synopsis
Protein tyrosine kinases play key roles in the progression of numerous human diseases including several types of cancers. We report here a simple colorimetric assay for tyrosine kinase activity employing synthetic peptide substrates prepared on Tentagel synthesis beads. Phosphorylation of compounds on beads was detected with an antiphosphotyrosine antibody complexed with a secondary antibody-alkaline phosphatase conjugate. This assay may prove useful for the identification and characterization of synthetic substrates of this important class of enzymes.

We have recently determined that -Ile-Tyr- were the two critical residues as a peptide substrate for p60c-src protein tyrosine kinase (Lou, Q. et al., Lett. Peptide Sci., 1995, 2, 289). Here, we report on the design and synthesis of a secondary 'one-bead, one-compound' combinatorial peptide library
