Enzyme Assay for CapD + CapDcp

Run one transpeptidase reaction and one hydrolysis reaction per enzyme (always run control for each set)


Prepare 10x Master Mix with these concentrations. (10uL/rxn)

  • HEPES 7.4 pH (250mM)
  • 1% Tween
  • Substrate (500nM)

Dilute Enzymes

  • Measure enzyme concentrations by protein gel band intensity or with spectrophotometer (A280)
  • Dilute enzymes to 50nM (~0.0025mg/mL) in strip tubes
    • Make sure you have at least 30uL of your final diluted enzyme

Prepare a 96-well plate.

  • Pipette diH2O into each well (Two per enzyme)
    • Transpeptidase: 70uL
    • Hydrolysis: 80uL
  • Pipette 10uL of 10x Master Mix into each well.
  • Pipette 10uL of 50mM L-Glu into each transpeptidation reaction well.

Prepare Spectramax plate reader with desired settings and desired emission and excitation wavelengths

  • Pipette 10uL of your enzyme into each well
  • Immediately place into Spectramax plate reader and begin reading


Final Concentrations

  • Enzyme (CapD) 5nM (0.00025mg/mL)
  • Amino Acid (L-Glutamate)0mM or 5mM
  • Substrate 50nM
  • HEPES (7.4pH) 25mM
  • 0.1% Tween
  • Final Reaction Volume 100uL
