Protocol: 1; Dispense 45 nl compounds (10 mM stocks) using ECHO 555 to Alpha 384 well assay plates. Dispense 45 nl DMSO to control columns 1 and 2 of 384 well plates.
2; Incubate 5 ul of 6XHis-mHTT (Final, 13 nM) with the compounds for 40 mins at room temperature in buffer containing 10 mM Tris.HCl pH 7.4, 1 mM calcium chloride, 150 mM sodium chloride, 0.1% BSA and 20% glycerol.
3; Dispense 5 ul of 6XGST-CaM (Final 13 nM) in buffer A.
4; Incubation; 1 hour (dark at 25C)
5; Dispense 20 ul of Nickel chelate acceptor beads (Final, 20 ugs/ml) and Glutathione donor beads (Final, 30 ugs/ml). Incubate for 2h, room temperature.
6; Detector: Perkin Elmer Enspire, Alphascreen Module (Excitation 680nm/Emission 570nm).

NOTES (numbers refer to Sequence numbers above)
1. Alphascreen bead incubations were performed in green light, TiterTek setting 400rpm.
2. All incubation and addition steps were followed by mixing and centrifugation at 400g,1 min.
3. The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:
100- [100 *((Test Compound-Median Low Control) / (Median High Control - Median Low Control))]

Where:
Test_Compound is defined as wells containing His mHTT + GST CaM in the presence of test compound

High_Control is defined as wells containing His mHTT + GST CaM and DMSO.

Low_Control is defined as wells containing His mHTT and DMSO.

Comment: All percent inhibition data reported were normalized to high and low controls on a per-plate basis. The results of primary screening data include compounds contributing to assay signal interference, interference with tags binding to Alpha beads, chelators, process related artifacts etc.. The actives were defined as compounds that inhibited Alphascreen reads to greater than 50%.
