The HSP90α (N-terminal) Assay Kit is designed for identification of HSP90α inhibitors using fluorescence polarization. The assay is based on the competition of fluorescently labeled geldanamycin for binding to purified recombinant HSP90α. The key to the HSP90α Assay Kit is the fluorescently labeled geldanamycin. Using this kit, only one simple step on a microtiter plate is required for HSP90α reactions. The fluorescently labeled geldanamycin is incubated with a sample containing HSP90α enzyme to produce a change in fluorescent polarization that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader.

The HSP90α inhibitor screening assay kit comes in a convenient 384-well format, with purified HSP90α enzyme, fluorescently labeled geldanamycin and HSP90 assay buffer for 384 enzyme reactions.

DMSO >1%, strong acids or bases, ionic detergents, high salt

COMPONENTS:

See data sheet for detailed protocol.

Stable for at least 12 months from date of receipt, when stored as directed. Kit components require different storage conditions. Be sure to store each component at the proper temperature upon arrival.

Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.
