| Description: | Enzyme activity of HDAC1,3 is determined using the substrate Ac-Lys-Tyr-Lys(Ac)-AMC while the enzyme activity of HDAC6 is assayed using the substrate Boc-lys(Ac)-AMC. The reaction is carried out in flat-bottom, 96-well, or 384-well microplates. After the substrate was deacetylated by HDACs, the product AMC which was obtained from hydrolysis by trypsin can generate fluorescence signal. Measurement is taken in using an multilabe plate reader a 355 nm excitation filter and a 460 nm emission filter. The initial rate of fluorescence should accurately reflect the rate of product formation and enzyme activity. Sample processing: The sample was dissolved in DMSO and kept at a low temperature. DMSO in the final system is limited under a low concentration which won't affect the enzyme activity. |
