Abstract

NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductases play important roles in biology. Recently, we reported that the luminescence lifetime of some Tb3+ complexes is sensitive to NAD(P)H, and we used this phenomenon to detect activities of these enzymes. However, conventional time-resolved luminescence assays are susceptible to static quenchers such as ATP. Herein we describe a detection methodology that overcomes this issue: the intensity of the sample is measured twice with different delay times and the intensity ratio value is used as an index of NAD(P)H concentration. The method is more robust than single-point measurement, and is compatible with high-throughput assays using conventional microplate readers.
