(23) Assay Card

General Information
Summary Both SFTI-1 and acyclic SFTI-1 are potent inhibitors of bovine beta trypsin
Condition Trypsin activity was assayed at 25¬C in a 96-well plate with 350 ul total reaction volume per well, with 42 nM bovine beta-trypsin (Type XIII TPCK treated, EC 3.4.21.4) using BAPNA substrate (4.0 mM) and buffer (pH 8) (50 mM Tris-HCl, 25 mM CaCl2). SFTI-1 inhibitors (0-400 nM) and trypsin were incubated together in buffer for two hours at 25¬C. The reaction at 25¬C was initiated by addition of substrate and monitored at 405 nm with readings taken every 60 seconds for 120 minutes using a Molecular Devices SpectraMax 250 or a Labsystems Multiskan Ascent.
Result Cyclic SFTI-1 inhibited bovine beta-trypsin with a Ki of 0.5(±0.1) nM and acyclic SFTI also inhibited inhibited trypsin and had a Ki of 12.1(±3.2) nM.
