DNA modifying enzymes play a key role in the regulation of gene expression and DNA repair. Quantifying the activity of these enzymes is essential for understanding their biological functions and developing therapeutic interventions. Mass spectrometry (MS) assays have become a powerful tool for quantifying enzyme activity with high sensitivity and specificity.Creative Enzymes offers comprehensive DNA modifying enzyme mass spectrometry to help researchers measure enzyme activity and characterize inhibitors.
Several MS-based strategies are available for quantifying the activity of DNA modifying enzymes, including:
Substrate targeted MS assay: This assay measures the conversion of a labeled nucleotide substrate by the enzyme of interest into its modified form. The modified nucleotides are then detected and quantified by mass spectrometry.
Product-targeted mass spectrometry: This assay measures the removal of chemical groups from the substrate by the enzyme of interest. The resulting product is then detected and quantified by mass spectrometry.
Stable isotope labeled MS assay: This assay uses a stable isotope to label the substrate or product of the enzyme of interest, allowing for sensitive and accurate detection by MS analysis.
We require a minimum of 1 μg of purified enzyme or cell lysate per assay. We recommend that samples be frozen at -80°C until shipment.
We provide our clients with detailed reports that include all experimental procedures and results obtained. The report includes a summary of the assay design, optimization, validation and data analysis.
