  • DETECTION OF PROTEIN ARGININE DEMETHYLASE ACTIVITY
    Publication number: 20170218430
    Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for determining methylarginine demethylase activity in test samples. The methods and compositions comprise a peptide substrate containing methylated arginine that can act as a substrate for the demethylation activity, a positive control that has methylarginine demethylation activity and a variant of the positive control that does not have methylarginine demethylation activity and that can act as a negative control.
