This kit contains nonradioactive components for radiolabeling and purifying histone H4 peptide with [3H]-acetyl CoA. The radiolabeled peptide is a suitable substrate for assay of HDAC activity. HeLa nuclear extract, which is rich in histone deacetylase activity, is included as a positive control. The HDAC inhibitor sodium butyrate is provided to demonstrate specificity of the deacetylase activity.
Accessory reagent kit for the analysis of histone methyltransferase activity.
This assay is a simple two-step procedure performed in a microtiter plate. In the first step samples are incubated with the HDAC assay substrate, allowing deacetylation of the fluorometric substrate. Next, Activator Solution releases a fluorophore from the deacetylated substrate or standard.
This kit is designed to measure the phosphotransferase activity in a kinase cascade reaction initiated by activated Raf-1. Recombinant unactive MEK1 is the substrate for Raf-1. Once activated by Raf-1, MEK1 can phosphorylate and thereby activate another kit component, recombinant unactive MAP Kinase 2/Erk2. Activation of MAP Kinase 2/Erk2 is determined by phosphorylation of myelin basic protein (MBP), in vitro. Phosphorylation…
The assay kit is designed to measure B-Raf dependent phosphotransferase activity in a kinase cascade reaction using recombinant MEK1, unactive as a B-Raf substrate. Recombinant MAPK2/Erk2, unactive is phosphorylated and activated by the activated MEK1 leading to phosphorylation of a MAP Kinase substrate, myelin basic protein (MBP). [γ-32P]ATP is the final phosphate donor.
Intended for the assay of recombinant B-Raf (supplied) kinase activity with experimental variables as determined by the user. For assay of B-Raf activity from a cell lysate, we recommend an immunoprecipitation-kinase assay, using anti-B-Raf antibody (07-453).

The 384 well format kit is a newer version of the tried and true non-radiographic HDAC assay. As in the previous kit, samples are first incubated with the HDAC Assay substrate, allowing deacetylation of the fluorometric substrate. After incubation, the activator solution is added, and releases a fluorophore from the deacetylated substrate or standard. The sample is then put into a microplate reader and fluorescence (i.e free/c…

The EZ-Zyme™ Chromatin Prep kit allows ChIP analysis at nucleosome resolution by performing complete or partial digestions with a proprietary enzymatic cocktail to obtain chromatin fragments of on average one to a few nucleosomes in length. Compared to sonication, this procedure not only allows mapping the protein-DNA association at a higher resolution, but also renders the subsequent immunoprecipitation more efficient due to…
The Rac1/Cdc42 Activation Assay provides an effective method for detecting Rac and Cdc42 activity in cell lysates. This assay uses the downstream effector of Rac/Cdc42, p21-activated protein kinase (PAK1), to isolated the active GTP-bound form of Rac/Cdc42 from the sample. The p21 binding domain (PBD) of PAK1 is expressed as a GST-fusion protein and coupled to agarose beads. After precipitation, an immunoblot is performed and…
