A Luminescent ADP Detection System for Kinases and Other
ADP-Generating Enzymes
The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay measures ADP formed from a kinase
reaction. The ADP is converted into ATP, which is used to generate light in a
luciferase reaction. The luminescence generated correlates with kinase
activity.
The assay is well suited for measuring the effects of
chemical compounds on the activity of many purified kinases, making it ideal
for primary screening as well as kinase selectivity profiling. Z′-factors
>0.7 are routinely obtained. The stable luminescent signal allows batch
plate processing without the need for strictly timed incubations.
