Abstract

Two molecular sensors that specifically recognize ADP in a background of over 100-fold molar excess of ATP are described. These sensors are nucleic-acid based and comprise a general method for monitoring protein kinase activity. The ADP-aptamer scintillation proximity assay is configured in a single-step, homogeneous format while the allosteric ribozyme (RiboReporter) sensor generates a fluorescent signal upon ADP-dependent ribozyme self-cleavage. Both systems perform well when configured for high-throughput screening and have been used to rediscover a known protein kinase inhibitor in a high-throughput screening format.
