Press Release Body = May 29, 2007 - San Jose, CA
At the 2007 Experimental Biology conference in Washington, DC, AnaSpec prepared a
technical poster entitled \"A Sensitive Fluorimetric Assay for Detection of
beta-Secretase Activity Using a Novel FRET Peptide Substrate\".

The poster documented the following findings:
. A highly sensitive SensoLyteT 520 beta-secretase assay kit based on a HiLyte
FluorT 488/QXLT 520 FRET substrate has been developed by AnaSpec.
. The longer excitation and emission wavelengths of HiLyte FluorT488 minimize the
interference from autofluorescence and absorbance of test compounds.
. This SensoLyteT 520 b-secretase assay kit is capable of continuous, homogeneous
monitoring of the enzymatic reaction.
. IC50 value for an inhibitor determined with SensoLyteT 520 b-secretase assay kit
were consistent with published data.
