ATP-dependent RNA helicase A

The DHX9 Helicase Activity Assay Kit is a fluorogenic assay designed for screening and profiling DHX9 (DExH-Box Helicase 9) antagonists/inhibitors by monitoring their effect on DHX9-catalyzed RNA unwinding. DHX9 Helicase Activity Assay Kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with contains enough purified recombinant DHX9 (amino acids 150-1150), ATP, DHX9 substrate, assay buffer and additives for 100 reactions. Figure 1: Illustration of the assay principle. The RNA probe is conjugated on one strand with the TAMRA (tetramethylrhodamine) fluorophore, and on the other strand with BHQ (Black Hole Quencher) which effectively quenches TAMRA fluorescence due to their proximity within the RNA double strand. DHX9 unwinding of the RNA probe separates the two strands, releasing TAMRA fluorescence. DHX9 activity, therefore, results in a proportional increase in fluorescence.
