Fluorescence Binding Assay: Table 4: Native tryptophan fluorescence experiments were conducted using a Horiba Jobin Yvon Fluorolog spectrofluorometer. 1 mM of compound was dissolved in 10 mM phosphate buffer [pH 7.0] and 50% DMSO. ctRAGE was bacterially expressed and purified as described1. 10 nM ctRAGE solution was individually titrated from 0.1 nM-100 μM with the compounds in 100 μL of 10 mM phosphate buffer [pH 7.0] and 5% DMSO. The excitation and emission wavelengths were 280 nm and 352 nm, respectively. Dissociation constants, Kd, were estimated from the changes in peak fluorescence intensities as a function of the free compound concentration by using Prism 5 software (GraphPad). Data were fit to the equation, (F−F0)/Fmax=[compound]/(Kd+[compound]) where F is the fluorescence intensity at a given compound concentration, F0 is the fluorescence intensity of the blank, and Fmax is the maximum fluorescence intensity.
