R&D Systems offers a variety of research tools to measure the activity of your molecule of interest. In contrast to more traditional assays that measure analyte levels, these kits and reagents provide a functional assessment and, therefore, a direct measurement of analyte activity. R&D Systems currently offers kinase activity assays, phosphatase activity assays, and protease activity assays. Kits and reagents are also available to measure active biological processes including transcription factor binding, cell viability/proliferation, apoptosis, and DNA damage and repair.
