Assays & Kits

The PARP1 Chemiluminescent Activity Assay Kit is designed to measure PARP1 activity for screening and profiling applications. PARP1 is known to catalyze the NADdependent addition of poly (ADP-ribose) to histones. The key to the PARP1 Chemiluminescent Activity Assay is the biotinylated substrate. With this kit, only three simple steps are required for PARP1 reactions. First, histone proteins are coated on a 96-well plate. Next, the PARP1 biotinylated substrate is incubated with an assay buffer that contains the PARP1 enzyme. Finally, the plate is treated with streptavidin-HRP followed by addition of the HRP substrate to produce chemiluminescence that can then be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.

The Homogeneous Caspase-3 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure Caspase-3 activity for screening and profiling applications. It comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all the reagents necessary for 100 fluorescent Caspase-3 activity measurements.

The Fluorogenic HDAC6 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) activity for screening and profiling applications. It comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all the reagents necessary for 100 fluorescent HDAC6 activity measurements. In addition, the kit includes purified HDAC6 enzyme and a potent HDAC inhibitor, Trichostatin A, for use as a positive and negative control. The Fluorogenic HDAC6 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 HDAC activity level. First, the HDAC fluorometric substrate, containing an acetylated lysine side chain, is incubated with purified HDAC enzyme. The deacetylation sensitizes the substrate so subsequent treatment with the Lysine Developer produces a fluoro

The GCN5 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed to screen for inhibitors of GCN5. The GCN5 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is based on the GCN5 enzyme transferring an acetyl group from an acetyl donor (acetyl CoA) to a histone substrate. The acetylated histone is recognized by a highly specific primary antibody, followed by an HRP-labeled secondary antibody. The chemiluminescence produced by HRP can be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.

The JMJD1A Homogeneous Assay Kit is designed to measure JMJD1A activity for screening and profiling applications. JMJD1A, also known as JHDM2A and KDM3A, is a JumonjiC (JmjC) domain containing histone lysine demethylase that exhibits demethylation activity toward H3-K9Me2 and H3-K9Me1. The key to the JMJD1A 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 methyltransferase detection. First, a sample containing JMJD1A enzyme is incubated with the biotinylated substrate.
