The JARID1C Homogeneous Assay Kit is designed to measure activity of the JARID1C for screening and profiling applications, using AlphaLISA^® technology. The key to the JARID1C 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 activity detection. First, a sample containing JARID1C enzyme is incubated with the biotinylated substrate. Next, acceptor beads and primary antibody are added, then donor beads, followed by reading the Alpha-counts.

The JARID1C Homogeneous Assay Kit comes in a convenient AlphaLISA^® format, with biotinylated histone H3 peptide substrate, primary antibody, demethylase assay buffer, and purified JARID1C for 384 enzyme reactions.

Avoid green and blue dyes that absorb light in the Alphascreen^® signal emission range (520-620 nm), such as Trypan Blue. Avoid the use of the potent singlet oxygen quenchers such as sodium azide (NaN₃) or metal ions (Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Ni²⁺). The presence of >1% RPMI 1640 culture medium leads to a signal reduction due to the presence of excess biotin and iron in this medium. MEM, which lacks these components, does not affect Alphascreen^® assays.

See assay kit data sheet for detailed protocol.

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