The PARP2 Colorimetric Activity Assay Kit is designed to measure PARP2 activity for screening and profiling applications. PARP2 is known to catalyze the NAD-dependent addition of poly(ADP-ribose) to histones. The key to the PARP2 Colorimetric Activity Assay is the biotinylated substrate. With this kit, only three simple steps are required for PARP2 reactions. First, histone proteins are coated on a 96-well plate. Next, the PARP2 biotinylated substrate is incubated with an assay buffer that contains the PARP2 enzyme. Finally, the plate is treated with streptavidin-HRP followed by addition of the colorimetric HRP substrate to produce color that can then be measured using a UV/Vis spectrophotometer microplate reader.

poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 2, poly(ADP-ribosyl)transferase 2, ADPRT, PARP2

The PARP2 assay kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with purified PARP2 enzyme, histone mixture, activated DNA, and PARP2 assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions.

See assay kit data sheet for detailed protocol

Stable at least 6 months from date of receipt, when stored as directed. Kit components require different storage conditions. Be sure to store each component at the proper temperature upon arrival.

Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.
