Methods, kits and compositions containing a mixture of D-luciferin and L-luciferin for light generation with luciferase are disclosed that have improved stability when stored over time. The mixture of D-luciferin and L-luciferin can be used to detect the presence or amount of ATP or of luciferase in a sample.
摘要:
A method and kit are provided for enhancing the tolerance of an assay reagent to compounds in an assay sample, the assay reagent including a luciferase enzyme. The method includes contacting the luciferase with a tolerance enhancement agent in an amount sufficient to substantially protect luciferase enzyme activity from interference of the compound and minimize interference by at least about 10% relative to an assay not having tolerance enhancement agent.

Conjugates comprise a drug or probe, a cell binding agent, and a quinone-containing linker. The quinone-containing linker may be reduced intracellularly to trigger release of the drug or probe. These conjugates may selectively deliver a drug or probe to a site of action of interest for local release of the active drug or probe.

The invention provides compounds, compositions, methods, substrates, and kits useful for analyzing the metabolic activity in cells, tissue, and animals and for screening test compounds for their effect on cytochrome P450 activity. In particular, a one-step and two-step methods using luminogenic molecules, e.g. luciferins or coelenterazines, that are cytochrome P450 substrates and that are also bioluminescent enzyme, e.g., luciferase, pro-substrates are provided. The present method further provides a method for stabilizing and prolonging the luminescent signal in a luciferase-based assay using luciferase stabilizing agents such as reversible luciferase inhibitors.
