ADP-ribose-pNP
ADP-ribose-pNP is a colorimetric substrate for assessing activity of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) enzymes. The absorbance of released p-nitrophenol is determined at 405 nm, and the slope of the calibration curve is used to convert the absorbencies to moles of product generated. With ADP-ribose-pNP as the colorimetric substrate, PARP-1 was determined to have the largest Km and Vmax values (151 uM and 1.30 nmolmin-1mg-1 respectively) followed by tankyrase-1 (82 uM and 18 pmolmin-1mg-1 respectively) and VPARP (46 uM and 2 pmolmin-1mg-1 respectively). This colorimetric substrate can be used to determine the kinetic parameters for PARP-1, tankyrase-1, and VPARP, and to screen small-molecule inhibitors of PARP-1, tankyrase-1, and VPARP. ADP-ribose-pNP-based continuous assay has considerable advantages over standard discontinuous PARP assays, enabling the high throughput screening of PARP-1, tankyrase-1, and VPARP activities and their inhibitors.

Important notes
The following recommended procedure can be adapted for measuring PARP-1, tankyrase-1, and VPARP activities and their inhibitors. The optimum conditions must be determined experimentally for each test.
PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTION
Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
1. ADP-ribose-pNP stock solution:
Make 5 - 10 mM stock solution in H2O. Note: The stock solution should be used promptly.
PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION
ADP-ribose-pNP working solution:
Prepare 0.25 mM assay solution by diluting the stock solution with assay buffer (50mM Tris, 10mM MgCl2, pH 8.0).
SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
- Add 0.01 mL/well of sample solution into 0.09 mL/well assay solution to make a final volume of 0.1 mL in a 96-well clear plate.
- Monitor the plate using an absorbance microplate reader at 405 nm.
