Description

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from Electrophorus electricus was immobilized on the surface of amino-modified magnetic beads (AChE-MB), and its activity evaluated by the quantification of acetylcholine hydrolysis. A reference mixture composed of AChE binders (galanthamine and a probe coumarin, Ki = 0.031 ± 0.010 μM) and non-binders (ketamine and propranolol) was used to probe the fishing assay. The performance of the bioconjugation assay was demonstrated with a library of 12 reference coumarins from which two ligands were directly identified by LC-MS/MS in a single assay, demonstrating the usefulness of this approach.
