Histone is suitable for use:
- as a positive control in the in vitro kinase assay to examine the ability of Cdc2-cyclin B1 to phosphorylate GST-CD-4 protein
- in Cdk5 activity assay
- in histone H1 kinase assay
- as a Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) acceptor in the assessment of in vitro PAR polymerase activity
- as an acceptor of 32P from [γ-32P]ATP in order to measure protein kinase activity of lysate from small and large luteal cells
