Nerve terminal probes are a series of fluorescent cationic styryl dyes developed to follow synaptic activity. These dyes have a lipophilic tail at one end and a hydrophilic cationically charged head group at the other end. The dyes vary in the number of carbons in the lipophilic tail (m) and the number of double bonds linking the two aromatic rings in the dye (n). AM dyes are similar to FM dyes, but contain an additional formaldehyde-fixable amino group in the cationic head.

The assay is designed to measure either MDA alone (in hydrochloric acid) or MDA in combination with 4-hydroxyalkenals (in methanesulfonic acid). It is based on the reaction of a chromogenic reagent, N-methyl-2-phenylindole with MDA and 4-hydroxyalkenals to yield a stable chromophore with maximal absorbance at 586 nm.

WST-1 Proliferation Assay Kit provides an easy to use tool for studying the induction and inhibition of cell proliferation in any in vitro model. The assay is based on the reduction of tetrazolium salt WST-1 to soluble formazan by electron transport across the plasma membrane of dividing cells. This kit will also allow investigators to screen drug candidates involved in regulation of cell cycle.

Cellular assay, Color-de-Lys™ developer concentrate, 300 µl

Supplier: Enzo Life Sciences

Designed to screen ADAM17 (TACE) inhibitors using a quenched fluorogenic peptide. The ADAM17 Fluorometric (also known as fluorimetric) Drug Discovery Kit is a complete assay system designed to screen ADAM17 (TACE) inhibitors using a quenched fluorogenic peptide: Mca-PLAQAV-Dpa-RSSSR-NH2. Mca fluorescence is quenched by the Dpa group until cleavage by proteases separates the two moieties. The assays are performed in a convenient 96-well microplate format. The kit is useful to screen inhibitors of ADAM17, a potential therapeutic target. The compound GM6001 is also included as a prototypic control inhibitor.

The assay utilizes bioluminescent detection of the ATP level for a rapid screening of apoptosis and cell proliferation simultaneously in mammalian cells. The assay utilizes the enzyme luciferase to catalyze the formation of light from ATP and luciferin. The light can be measured using a luminometer or Beta Counter. The assay can be fully automatic for high throughput (10 seconds/sample) and is highly sensitive (detects 10-100 mammalian cells/well).

A Fluor-de-Lys® fluorescent assay system. The HDAC6 Fluorescent Activity Assay/Drug Discovery Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure the lysyl deacetylase activity of the recombinant human HDAC6 included in the kit. The kit is ideal for chemical library screening for candidate inhibitors or activators or kinetic assay of the enzyme under varying conditions. The Fluor de Lys® HDAC6 assay is based on the Fluor de Lys® Substrate and Fluor de Lys® Developer combination. The assay procedure has two steps. First, the Fluor de Lys® Substrate, which comprises an acetylated lysine side chain, is incubated with HDAC6. Deacetylation of the substrate sensitizes the substrate so that, in the second step, treatment with the Fluor de Lys®Developer produces a fluorophore.
