Assays & Kits

The Fluorogenic HDAC9 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) activity for screening and profiling applications. It comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all the reagents necessary for 100 fluorescent HDAC9 activity measurements. In addition, the kit includes purified HDAC9 enzyme and a potent HDAC inhibitor, Trichostatin A, for use as a positive and negative control. The Fluorogenic HDAC9 Assay Kit is based on a unique fluorogenic substrate and developer combination. This assay method eliminates dealing with the radioactivity, extraction, and chromatography aspects of traditional assays. Using this kit, only two simple steps on a microtiter plate are needed to analyze the HDAC9 activity level. First, the HDAC fluorometric substrate, containing an acetylated lysine side chain, is incubated with purified HDAC9. The deacetylation sensitizes the substrate so subsequent treatment with the Lysine Developer produces a fluorophore

The Fluorogenic SIRT1 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activity for screening and profiling applications. The Fluorogenic SIRT1 Assay Kit is based on a unique fluorogenic substrate and developer combination. This assay method eliminates dealing with the radioactivity, extraction, and chromatography aspects of traditional assays. Using this kit, only two simple steps on a microtiter plate are needed to analyze the SIRT1 activity level. First, the SIRT fluorometric substrate (SIRT substrate 1), containing an acetylated lysine side chain, is incubated with purified SIRT1 enzyme. The deacetylation sensitizes the substrate so subsequent treatment with the Lysine Developer produces a fluorophore that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader.

The Fluorogenic SIRT5 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure SIRT5 activity for screening and profiling applications. The Fluorogenic SIRT5 Assay Kit is based on a unique fluorogenic substrate and developer combination. This assay method eliminates dealing with the radioactivity, extraction, and chromatography aspects of traditional assays. Using this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are needed to analyze the SIRT5 activity level. First, the Sirtuin 5 fluorometric substrate (SIRT substrate 5), containing a succinylated lysine side chain, is incubated with purified SIRT5 enzyme. The desuccinylation sensitizes the substrate so subsequent treatment with the Lysine Developer produces a fluorophore that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader.

The Fluorogenic SIRT2 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) activity for screening and profiling applications. It comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all the reagents necessary for 32 fluorescent SIRT2 activity measurements*.The kit includes purified SIRT2 enzyme and a SIRT inhibitor, Nicotinamide, for use as a positive and negative control, respectively. The Fluorogenic SIRT2 Assay Kit is based on a unique fluorogenic substrate and developer combination.

SIRT Assay Developer is an essential reagent for signal generation in sirtuin assays performed with any of BPS Bioscience's SIRT substrate or fluorimetric assay kits. An appropriate fluorimetric substrate, comprising an acetylated lysine side chain, is first incubated with a sample containing SIRT activity (nuclear or cellular extract, purified enzyme, bead-bound immunocomplex, etc.). Deacetylation of the substrate sensitizes it so that, in a second step, treatment with the SIRT assay developer produces a fluorophore. Nicotinamide is included as an 'inhibitor stop' for Sirtuins.

Histone H3 peptide methylated at Lysine 4, substrate for LSD1

The LSD1 Homogeneous Assay Kit is designed to measure activity of lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1) for screening and profiling applications. The key to the LSD1 Homogeneous Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes demethylated substrate. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for demethylase detection. First, a sample containing LSD1 enzyme is incubated with the biotinylated substrate. Next, acceptor beads and primary antibody are added, then donor beads, followed by reading the Alpha-counts.
