โฆ Synopsis
Enzymatic formation of glutamate is critical to numerous biological pathways. However, current methods for assaying the activities of glutamate-forming enzymes are not particularly suitable for highthroughput screening in drug discovery. We present a continuous-read, fluorometric assay for high-throughput analysis of glutaminases. This assay is adapted to a microplate format and employs glutamate oxidase and horseradish peroxidase to couple glutamate formation to production of the fluorescent reporter molecule, resorufin, for enhancement of sensitivity (M.
