PRMT1 is a histone methyltransferase that exhibits methylation activity toward H4-R3.Intended Use：Suitable for use in studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.Test Principle：The PRMT1 Homogeneous BioAssay Kit is designed to measure PRMT1 activity for screening and profiling applications. PRMT1 is a histone methyltransferase that exhibits methylation activity toward H4-R3. The PRMT1 Homogeneous BioAssay Kit comes in a convenient AlphaLISA format，with a 384-well plate，biotinylated histone H4 peptide substrate，primary antibody，methylation assay buffer，and purified PRMT1 for 384 enzyme reactions. The key to the PRMT1 Homogeneous BioAssay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes methylated histone substrate. With this kit，only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for methyltransferase detection. First，a sample containing PRMT1 enzyme is incubated with the biotinylated substrate for one hour. Next，acceptor beads and primary antibody are added，then donor beads，followed by reading the Alpha- counts.Contraindications：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.Kit Components：PRMT1，1x1ug20uM S-adenosylmethionine，1x500ulPrimary antibody 4，1x400ulBiotinylated histone H4 peptide substrate，1x400ul4x HMT assay Buffer 2A，1x3ml4x Detection Buffer，1x2mlStorage and Stability：Store powder at 4°C liquid at -20°C/-70°C. Store other components at 4°C. Stable for at least 6 months For maximum recovery of product，centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
