Custom Premix Selecting "Custom Premix" option means that all of the beads you have chosen will be premixed in manufacturing before the kit is sent to you.
We offer a selection of assay kits and antibodies to measure acetylation and deacetylation activity, helping to elucidate the relationship between chromatin modification pathways and gene regulation.
Histone modifications regulate DNA transcription, repair, recombination, and replication, and can alter local chromatin architecture. Understanding histone modifications is key to uncovering epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation. Merck grasps the complexity of this research and provides a growing line of kits, antibodies, and assays for studying histones and their modifications. Merck offers over 600 validated antibodies, recombinant proteins, and kits to analyze histone and histone-variant phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, and citrullination-the most widely studied histone modifications in epigenetics today.
Histone peptide arrays are essential screening tools to evaluate the specificity and cross-reactivity of antibodies against histones H2A, H2B, H3, H4, and their post-translational modifications.The arrays are designed on PVDF membranes for a simple Western blot-like assay.
Organisms depend on multiple nutrient sensing pathways to make sure that the cells and tissue obtain just the right amount of necessary nutrients. Metabolic activities can put stress on our cells. Too much activity, and changes in nutrient availability and composition cause cells to age faster.
Histone modifications regulate DNA transcription, repair, recombination, and replication, and can alter local chromatin architecture. The most commonly studied histone modifications are acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination.
