Hello everyone,
I am screening for Inhibitors. Km of my enzyme is 20uM.
but at 20uM substrate conc I am not getting a good signal.
The graph curves very quick and also the signal to noise ratio is around 1.5 only. Z´is very good around 0.8-0.85.
But if I increase the substrate conc. to 30 or 40uM. I get a good initial reaction (where I could stop the reaction and read the output). Also the signal to noise ratio increases to 2.1-2.6.
Z´is also good around 0.8.
But I am wondering will I miss a potential Inhibitor? if I screen at 30 or 40uM ATP (Km is 20uM).
Thanks and best regards,
Saif
