ML324(IC50=920 nM) is a specific inhibitor of jumonji histone demethylase (JMJD2).

JMJD2:920 nM

The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based LANCE Ultra KinaSelect Ser/Thr kit is used to determine IC50 values for various CDK inhibitors. Briefly, a specific ULight MBP peptide substrate (50 nM final concentration) is phosphorylated by a CDK-cyclin pair in buffer (50 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 2 mM dithiothreitol) containing ATP at the concentration of the Km values of the individual kinases for 1 h at room temperature. Subsequently, phosphorylation is detected by addition of specific Eu-labelled anti-phospho-antibodies (2 nM), which upon binding to the phosphopeptide give rise to a FRET signal. FRET signals are then recorded[1].
