Enzyme Assays

Enzymes are diverse proteins, and accordingly, so are their biological substrates, products and biochemical mechanisms. Given the diversity of enzymatic reactions occurring in cells and organisms, a number of enzymatic assays have also been defined, which serve as a window to the biochemistry that occurs within a defined biological system. For more commonly studied assays, a number of commercial kits have been developed, already optimized and ready-to-use for convenience, accuracy and repeatability. Our enzyme assays catalog lists a growing selection of kits from reliable suppliers for measuring the activity of various kinases, proteases, histone acetyltransferases, deacetylases, ATPases, phosphatases, lipases, and more. Such assays can be useful in many research focuses, including studying protein characterization, biochemical pathways, disease states, and the effects of pharmacological compounds.
