“…Percentage Inhibition assays were carried out in duplicates in a 384-well plate similar to that reported previously. 24 All reactions had a final volume of 20 μL containing Neu5Acα2− 3GalβpNP (0.3 mM) and β-galactosidase (12 μg) with 0.1 mM or 1.0 mM of inhibitor. The assay conditions for various sialidases were as follows: A. ureafaciens sialidase (0.5 mU), NaOAc buffer (100 mM, pH 5.5); C. perfringens sialidase (CpNanI, 1.3 mU), 2-(Nmorpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES) buffer (100 mM, pH 5.0); V. cholera sialidase (0.6 mU), NaCl (150 mM), CaCl 2 (10 mM), NaOAc buffer (100 mM, pH 5.5); SpNanA (0.75 ng), NaOAc buffer (100 mM, pH 6.0); SpNanB (3 ng), NaOAc buffer (100 mM, pH 6.0); SpNanC (10 ng), MES buffer (100 mM, pH 6.5); PmST1 (0.2 μg), NaOAc buffer (100 mM, pH 5.5), CMP (0.4 mM); hNEU2 (0.6 μg), MES buffer (100 mM, pH 5.0); BiNanH2 (4 ng), NaOAc buffer (100 mM, pH 5.0).…”
