The NAD(P)H-Glo™ Detection System is a bioluminescent, homogeneous, single-reagent-addition assay that quantitatively monitors the concentration of the reduced forms of NADH and NADPH levels in enzymatic reactions. The oxidized forms, NAD+ and NADP+, are not detected and do not interfere with quantitation.
The assay is rapid, requiring only a 40- to 60-minute incubation, has a broad linear range (25nM-50µM) and high signal-to background ratio (~400). Low nanomolar sensitivity, 25nM, allows direct in-well detection. The assay is well suited to measuring NAD(P)H production or consumption in high-throughput formats.
Assay Chemistry
In the presence of NAD(P)H, a reductase reduces the proluciferin reductase substrate to form luciferin. Luciferin is quantified using Ultra-Glo™ Recombinant Luciferase, which is a component of the Luciferin Detection Reagent, and the light signal produced is proportional to the amount of NAD(P)H in the sample.
Sensitive and Selective
The assay is selective for the reduced forms of NADH and NADPH levels in enzymatic reactions.
Compatible with High-Throughput Systems
The simple add-and-read protocols are compatible with automated and high-throughput workflow, and the flexible chemistries adapt to 96-, 384- and 1,536-well plate formats and high-throughput systems. They yield Z′ values >0.7.
Assays were performed using 8µl of the indicated concentration of NADH with 8µl of the appropriate Luciferin Detection Reagent in 384-well plates. S/B = signal-to-background ratio.
The NAD(P)H-Glo™ Assay detects only NADH and NADPH.
Case Study
Researchers at BioAscent have implemented the NAD(P)H-Glo™ Assay for HTS. In this project, Dr McElroy and his team used the NAD(P)H-Glo™ Assay to screen 50,000 compounds against a poorly characterized enzyme that is a potential drug target. NAD(P)H-Glo was chosen as it has high sensitivity, with a wide dynamic range and high signal-to-background ratios.
