The LSD1 Assay Kit is designed to measure LSD1 activity of purified LSD1 enzymes containing LSD1 using fluorimetry. The assay is based on the analysis of the hydrogen peroxide produced during the demethylation reaction mediated by LSD1. The key to the LSD1 Assay Kit is the methylated peptide substrate. Using this kit, only two simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for LSD1 reactions. First, a sample containing LSD1 is incubated in a reaction mixture with the methylated peptide substrate. Second, peroxidase and Amplex Red reagent are added and fluorescence (λex=530±13 nm, λem=590±18 nm) is measured using a plate reader.
