- Universal - suitable for any AcetylCoA-dependent acetyltransferase
- Robust - Z' factor = 0.87
- Sensitive - fluorescent detection allows for both DNA and protein assays
- Higher throughput - homogeneous mix-and-read assay
The Acetyltransferase activity kit is a homogeneous mix-and-read fluorescent assay for the determination of any acetyl-CoA dependent acetyltransferase activity. It is suitable for end-point or kinetic read options, which is ideal for determining mechanism of action, kinetics, and screening candidate compounds. The assay is amendable to HTS and miniaturization.

| Scientific Background: | Acetylation of proteins and drugs is a regulatory event that can result in the activation, inactivation, or detoxification of molecules including histones, kinases, transcription factors, anti-microbial agents, and neurotransmitters. While acetylation can be carried out by a variety of acetyltransferase enzymes using diverse substrates, their common cofactor or acetyl donor is acetyl-CoA. |
