Drug Target Assay Kit

MurF carries out the last step in making UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide in bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis. It adds the dipeptide D-Ala-D-Ala to UDP-MurNAc-tripeptide, coupled to ATP hydrolysis that releases ADP and inorganic phosphate. It is essential and an attractive antibacterial drug target.

Kit Components

Component MURF100KP
10 x Buffer 400 µl
100 x UDP-MurNAc-tripeptide (UMAG-DAP) 35 µl
100 x D-Ala-D-Ala 35 µl
100 x ATP 35 µl
1000 x P. aeruginosa MurF 10 µl
Phosphate detection dye (also sold separately as MicroMolar Phosphate Assay Reagent, BHT16300173) 5 ml

Assay Principle

The kit measures the inorganic phosphate released when MurF adds D-Ala-D-Ala to UDP-MurNAc-tripeptide and hydrolyzes ATP with a phosphate detection dye; absorbance at 650 nm is proportional to MurF activity, so inhibitors reduce the signal.

Q.What does this kit measure?
A.It measures the activity of P. aeruginosa MurF by detecting the inorganic phosphate released when MurF adds D-Ala-D-Ala to UDP-MurNAc-tripeptide and hydrolyzes ATP. It is used to screen inhibitors of this bacterial cell wall enzyme and to characterize the enzyme.
Q.What is included in the kit?
A.The P. aeruginosa MurF Assay Kit Plus (100 assays) includes 10 x buffer (400 µl), 100 x UDP-MurNAc-tripeptide (UMAG-DAP) (35 µl), 100 x D-Ala-D-Ala (35 µl), 100 x ATP (35 µl), 1000 x P. aeruginosa MurF (10 µl) and phosphate detection dye (5 ml).
Q.Is a protocol available?
A.Yes. The manufacturer's protocol (P. aeruginosa MurF Assay, linked under Documents) covers catalog # MURF100KP.
Q.How long does the assay take?
A.About 65 min (60 min reaction + 5 min detection). See the protocol for the exact steps.
Q.How should the kit be stored?
A.The P. aeruginosa MurF Assay Kit Plus is shipped frozen. Please contact us for long-term storage conditions.
