We developed a facile procedure for the determination of enzyme-competitive inhibitor dissociation constants over a wide range of potencies at any ratios of enzyme, labeled ligand, and inhibitor. The assay uses displacement curves and a fluorescent-labeled ligand to allow experimental determination of dissociation constants (Kd's) of inhibitors of human renin, a highly specific enzyme, for which numerous high affinity (up to 100 pM) inhibitors have been synthesized. The procedure involves binding a dansylated competitive inhibitor, U80215, followed by its displacement by an unlabeled inhibitor of renin. Binding of U80215 is monitored by fluorescent energy transfer from the renin tryptophans to the dansyl moiety; displacement of U80215 by an unlabeled inhibitor is monitored by a reversal of this process. The procedures may be used to determine the potencies of unlabeled inhibitors up to 100 pM affinities and to determine kinetic binding constants. The concepts described should also be useful in other protein/ligand systems.

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM.

D004735 Energy Transfer The transfer of energy of a given form among different scales of motion. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed). It includes the transfer of kinetic energy and the transfer of chemical energy. The transfer of chemical energy from one molecule to another depends on proximity of molecules so it is often used as in techniques to measure distance such as the use of FORSTER RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER. Transfer, Energy
