Description

The TNKS2 Colorimetric Assay Kit is designed to measure the activity of Tankyrase 2 (TNKS2, also known as PARP5B) for screening and profiling applications. TNKS2 is known to catalyze the NAD-dependent ADP-ribosylation of histones. The key to the TNKS2 Colorimetric Assay Kit is the biotinylated NAD+. First, histone proteins are coated on a 96-well plate. Next, a biotinylated NAD+ mix (termed PARP Substrate Mixture) is incubated with the TNKS2 enzyme. Finally, the plate is treated with streptavidin-HRP followed by addition of the colorimetric HRP substrate to produce color that can be measured using a UV/Vis spectrophotometer microplate reader.

Supplied As
The TNKS2 assay kit comes with purified TNKS2 enzyme, histone mixture, and PARP assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions.
Materials Required But Not Supplied
  • DTT (10 mM in water, prepared fresh)
  • 1x PBS (phosphate buffer saline)
  • PBST: 1x PBS, containing 0.05% Tween-20
  • UV/Vis spectrophotometer microplate reader capable of reading absorbance at 450 nm*
  • 2 M sulfuric acid (aqueous)
  • Adjustable micropipettor and sterile tips
  • Rotating or rocker platform

*Alternately, a spectrophotometer reading at 650 nm may be used, but sensitivity of the assay will be greatly reduced.
