NOTES (numbers refer to Sequence numbers above)
1, 2, 5. White Medium Binding Greiner 1536-well plates (Cat #789175-F, Greiner Bio-One, Monroe, NC); Reaction buffer: 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 3 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, and 0.1 mg/mL BSA. Evaporation was prevented by covering assay plates with metal lids containing holes to allow gas diffusion.
1. Six SMMTase were profiled: HNMT, GNMT, PNMT, COMT, NNMT, GAMT
2. The corresponding SAM cofactor concentration was used for each SMMTase: HNMT - 9.3 uM SAM; GNMT - 12.1 uM SAM; PNMT - 3.6 uM SAM; COMT - 14.5 uM SAM; NNMT 11.9 uM SAM; GAMT - 5.6 uM SAM.
3, 4. Pintool transfer
5. The corresponding substrate was used for each enzyme: HNMT - 5.3 uM Histamine; GNMT - >500 uM Glycine; PNMT - 16.2 uM Norephinephrine; COMT - 13.7 uM Norephinephrine; NNMT - 3.8 uM Nicotinamide; GAMT - 2.5 uM Guanidinoacetate.6, 8, 10. Room temperature
6. Final reaction conditions: 10 nM COMT, 5 uM SAM, 15 uM norepinephrine, 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 3 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, and 0.1 mg/mL BSA; refer to tables 2 and S1 for specific timing.
8. Conversion of SAH to ADP; MTase Glo Kit (Promega, Madison, WI).
10. Conversion of ADP to ATP and detection by UltraGlo luciferase; MTase Glo Kit (Promega, Madison, WI).
11. Settings: 20 s exposure, 1X binning, high gain, medium speed.

Comment:
Disclaimer:
Although all reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, caution should be exercised when interpreting the results as artifacts are possible from nonspecific effects such as assay signal interference. The curve fitting and activity calls presented here are based on the NCATS analysis methods.
Compound Ranking:
1. Compounds are assayed at single point activity (40 uM).
2. Active / Inactive compound calling is based on the results of the enzyme assay panel. ACTIVE compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = 50 and are compounds that have <= -50% max response in ANY ONE of the six enzymes. INACTIVE compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = 0 and are those that have >= -30% max response in ALL SIX enzymes. The remaining compounds are INCONCLUSIVE and have PUBCHEM_ACITIVITY_SCORE = 30.
