Multiplex detection of histone-modifying enzymes by total internal reflection fluorescence-based single-molecule detection

Abstract

We develop a sensitive and selective method for the multiplex detection of histone-modifying enzymes (HMEs) through the integration of antibody-based fluorescence labeling with total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF)-based single-molecule detection. This method exhibits excellent specificity and high sensitivity with a detection limit of 21 pM for histone acetyltransferase GcN5 and 12 pM for histone methyltransferase G9a, and it can be applied for the screening of HME inhibitors as well.
