OverviewpdfSDSpdfProtocol


Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) are two important cofactors for many enzyme reactions found in living cells. NAD forms NADP with the addition of a phosphate group to the 2' position of the adenyl nucleotide through an ester linkage. NADP is used in anabolic biological reactions, such as fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis, which requires NADPH as a reducing agent. In chloroplasts, NADP is an oxidizing agent important in the preliminary reactions of photosynthesis. The NADPH produced by photosynthesis is used as reducing power for the biosynthetic reactions in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis. Quantifying the generation or consumption of these factors is an important method to monitor the enzyme-mediated reaction or screening the modulator or substrate of these enzyme reactions. There are several kits on the market to quantify NADPH or total NADP/NADPH amount, but detection NADP generation in the presence of large excess amount of NADPH has been quite challenging to date because NADP has its absorption peak at 260 nm and does not fluorescence, making the measurement unpractical. Amplite® Fluorimetric NADP Assay Kit provides a sensitive and rapid detection of NADP. The kit directly measure NADP using Quest Fluor™ NADP reagent, our newly developed NADP sensor. The proprietary probe used in this kit reacts only with NADP to generate a product that fluorescence at a specific excitation and emission spectra range and has little response to NADPH. This kit can detect as little as 30 nM NADP in a 100 µL assay volume, and monitor 0.3% NADP generation in the presence of excess amount of NADPH. This assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format and can be used in high-throughput screening.

Protocol Summary
  1. Prepare NADP standards or test samples (50 µL)
  2. Add 20 µL Quest Fluor™ NADP Probe
  3. Add 20 µL Assay Solution
  4. Incubate at RT for 10 - 20 minutes
  5. Add 15 µL Enhancer Solution
  6. Incubate at RT for 10 - 20 minutes
  7. Monitor Fluorescence at 420/480 nm (Cutoff = 455 nm)
Important Note

Thaw each kit components at room temperature before starting the experiment.

PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS

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

NADP standard solution (1 mM)

Add 500 µL of ddH2O into the vial of NADP Standard (Component D) to make 1 mM NADP standard solution.

PREPARATION OF STANDARD SOLUTIONS

For convenience, use the Serial Dilution Planner:

NADP standard
Add 10 µL of 1mM NADP standard solution into 990 µL ddH2O or 1X PBS buffer to generate 10 µM NADP standard solution (NS7). Take 10 µM NADP standard solution (NS7) and perform 1:3 serial dilutions in ddH2O or 1X PBS buffer to get serially diluted NADP standard (NS6 - NS1). Note: Diluted NADP standard solution is unstable, and should be used within 4 hours.

  1. Prepare NADP standards (NS), blank controls (BL), and test samples (TS) according to the layout provided in Table 1 and Table 2. For a 384-well plate, use 25 µL of reagent per well instead of 50 µL.
  2. Add 20 µL Quest Fluor™ NADP Probe (Component A) solution into each well of NADP standard, blank control, and test samples, mix well. For a 384-well plate, use 10 µL of Quest Fluor™ NADP Probe (Component A) solution instead.
  3. Add 20 µL Assay Solution (Component B) into each well, mix well. For a 384-well plate, use 10 µL of Assay Solution (Component B) instead.
  4. Incubate the reaction at room temperature for 10 - 20 minutes, protected from light.
  5. Add 15 µL Enhancer (Component C) to each well to make the total NADP assay volume of 105 µL/well. For a 384-well plate, add 7.5 uL Enhancer (Component C) instead, for a total volume of 52.5 µL/well.
  6. Incubate at room temperature for 10 - 20 minutes, protected from light.
  7. Monitor the fluorescence increase with a fluorescence plate reader at 420/480 nm (Cutoff = 455nm).
