Plate-Based Time-Resolved Fluorescence Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) Assays: Determine the binding ability of BRD4 compounds to bromodomains of BRD2 and BRD4. 96 well plate based commercial TR-FRET Assay kits (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Mich.) were used to determine the binding ability of tested BRD4 inhibitors to the BRD4 bromodomains (BD) using the two recombinant BRD4 BDs using time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) assays. A series concentrations of BRD4 inhibitors from 0.01 nM to 100 ��M for 24 hours and were added into 96 well test plate and mixed with other reaction components based on the instructions from vendor followed by incubation 1 h at room temperature. The commercially available BRD inhibitor JQ1 was used as the positive control. The plate were read in time-resolved format by exciting the sample at 340 nm and reading emissions at 620 and 670 nm, using a 100 ��s delay and a 500 ��s window at a Tecan M1000 pro reader. A plot of the TR-FRET ratio (670 nm emission/620 nm emission0 versus inhibitor concentration on semi-log axes results in a sigmoidal dose-response curve typical of competitive assays.
