Promega, V5012, AMP-Glo™ Assay

Sensitive, Luminescent AMP Detection
The AMP-Glo™ Assay is a homogeneous assay that generates a luminescent signal from any biochemical reaction that produces AMP. It can be used to measure the activity of a broad range of enzymes, such as cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterases, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, DNA ligases and ubiquitin ligases or enzymes modulated by AMP.
The assay quantitatively monitors AMP concentration in a biochemical reaction in a wide range of plates, including high-throughput formats. The stable luminescent signal eliminates the need for an injector-equipped luminometer and allows batch-mode processing of multiple plates. The assay can be used to determine the AMP produced either in the presence or absence of ATP as a substrate.
Two reagents are supplied: one to terminate the AMP-generating enzymatic reaction, remove ATP and convert AMP produced into ADP, and a second reagent to convert ADP to ATP, which is used to generate a luminescence in a luciferase reaction. The AMP-Glo™ Assay is well suited for monitoring AMP produced in biochemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes that do not use ATP as a substrate, such as cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterases (PDE) and bacterial DNA ligases.
