The Hsp90 molecular chaperone is responsible for the conformational maturation of nascent polypeptides and the rematuration of denatured proteins. Inhibition of Hsp90 represents a promising approach towards the treatment of cancer because numerous signaling cascades can be simultaneously targeted by disruption of the Hsp90-mediated process. Hsp90's ATPase activity is essential to the Hsp90-mediated protein folding process, consequently, a coupled assay was developed and optimized for determination of Hsp90's inherent ATPase activity. Using maltose phosphorylase, glucose oxidase, and horseradish peroxidase as components of this assay, a highly reproducible assay with a Z-factor of 0.87 has been produced.
