Histone H3 (1-21) is a truncated form of the Histone H3 protein consisting of amino acids 1 to 21. It serves as a common substrate for methyltransferase assays targeting Histone 3 at lysine 4 and lysine 9, as well as for acetyltransferase assays targeting Histone 3 at lysine 9 and lysine 14.
Histone H1-derived peptide is a phosphopeptide with peptide substrates that consist of a sequence aligned with the optimal recognition motif for cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).
Histone H3 (21-44)-GK-biotin is a peptide fragment of histone H3 that corresponds to amino acid residues 22-45 of the human histone H3.3 sequence and is biotinylated via a C-terminal GK linker. Unlike histone H3.1 and H3.2, the histone H3.3 variant contains a serine residue at position 31 that is phosphorylated during late prometaphase and metaphase of mitosis. Histone H3 (21-44) also contains lysine residues at positions 23, 27, and 36 that are subject to methylation and acetylation, all of which have a role in the regulation of gene expression, and a serine residue at position 28 that is subject to phosphorylation during mitosis.
Histone H3 (21-44), derived from a sequence of 21-44 amino acids of histone H3, is commonly employed as a substrate, particularly for protein arginine methyltransferase assays, where methylation activity is being examined.
Histone H3 (1-35) is a 35-residue peptide derived from histone H3, which is a key member of the five main histones participating in the formation of chromatin within eukaryotic cells.
Histone-H2A-(107-122)-Ac-OH is a peptide with the sequence Ac-Gly-Val-Leu-Pro-Asn-Ile-Gln-Ala-Val-Leu-Leu-Pro-Lys-Lys-Thr-Glu-OH, MW= 1762.1. Histone H2A is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells.
Histone H2B (108-125) is a peptide fragment of histone H2B that corresponds to amino acid residues 109-126 of the human histone H2B sequence. It contains an N-terminal biotinylated lysine followed by a tryptophan linker. Histone H2B can be modified by addition of an O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety to the serine residue at position 112, which promotes monoubiquitination of the lysine at position 120.1 Both of these modifications are associated with active transcription. Histone H2B also has lysine residues at positions 108, 116, and 120 that are subject to acetylation.2References1. Fujiki, R., Hashiba, W., Sekine, H., et al.

Histone H3 (21-44)-GK-biotin is a peptide fragment of histone H3 that corresponds to amino acid residues 22-45 of the human histone H3.1 and 3.2 sequences and is biotinylated via a C-terminal GK linker. Histone H3 (21-44) contains a lysine residue at position 23 that is subject to acetylation, an arginine at position 26 subject to methylation, and a serine at position 28 subject to phosphorylation, as well as lysine residues at positions 27 and 36 that are subject to methylation and acetylation. Histone H3 (21-44)-GK-biotin has been used as a substrate for the primate-specific histone methyltransferase PR domain-containing protein 7 (PRDM7) to determine substrate specificity.
