ADA Kinetic Assay with Acetylsalicylic Acid inhibitor

• The objective for this laboratory period was to run ADA Kinetic assay with the addition of the inhibitor.
• Acetylsalicylic acid (C₉H₈O₄, MW 180.16) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, Co.
• The assay of the acid is ≥ 99.0 %. The solid appeared as a white crystalline form having an absorbance of 230 nm.

• The first trial conducted did not include the inhibitor for the purpose of obtaining a zero point.
• There were observed inconsistencies among the 32, 39.7, 141.8, and 200 μM adenosine concentrations. Thus, new concentrations were calculated for adenosine.

Protocol

• The portion below was taken from the note book of Dhea Patel.
• 

• The data obtained from the ADA Assay was not consistent with previous findings, so new Adenosine concentrations were made up according to the following table:
