Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Human Topoisomerase IIalpha Decatenation Inhibition Assay
Description:  Human Topoisomerase IIα assays were carried out by adding the compounds to 185 ng of kinetoplast DNA (kDNA, from TopoGen) in the buffer supplied by the manufacturer before the addition of 2 U of the enzyme. The samples were incubated for 15 minutes at 37° C. before the addition of 4 μL of a stop buffer containing 5% sarkosyl, 0.25% bromophenol blue, and 25% glycerol. The reactions were then analyzed by electrophoresis in 1% agarose gels containing 0.5 g/mL ethidium bromide before being photographed under UV light.
