Michaelis-Menten Assay

Prepare a 10x Master Mix with these concentrations (10uL/rxn) Make one for each enzyme

  • HEPES 7.4 pH (250mM)
  • 1% Tween
  • Purified Enzyme (50nM)

Note: Make one without enzyme for blank

    • Dilute enzyme in 1x HEPES/Tween buffer

Dilute Substrate

  • Prepare 10x substrate (10uM) in one well of a 12-well strip tube
  • Do half concentration serial dilutions until 11th well.
  • Leave the 12th well with no substrate

1.1x Master Mix

  • Put equal parts 10x Master Mix and 10x L-Glu eppendorf tube (Referred to as L-Glu Master Mix)
  • Put equal parts 10x Master Mix and diH2O in an eppendorf tube (Referred to as diH2O Master Mix)
  • Fill each tube with diH2O till 90uL/rxn is reached

Prepare a 96-well plate for transpeptidation

  • Pipette 90uL of 1.1x L-Glu Master Mix for one each enzyme across a row for the transpeptidation reaction
  • Repeat for each enzyme
  • Make one row of blank (1.1x L-Glu Master Mix without enzyme)

Prepare a 96-well plate for hydrolysis

  • Pipette 90uL of 1.1 diH2O Master Mix for each different enzyme in each new row
  • Repeat for each enzyme
  • Make one row of blank (1.1x diH2O Master Mix without enzyme)

Final Concentrations Enzyme (CapD) - 5nM (0.00025mg/mL) Amino Acid (L-Glutamate) - 0mM or 5mM Substrate - Variable Concentration HEPES (7.4pH) - 25mM 0.1% Tween Final Reaction Volume 100uL
