Strategies to detect human DNA methyltransferases are needed; given that aberrant methylation by these enzymes is associated with cancer initiation and progression. Here we describe a nonradioactive; antibody-free; electrochemical assay in which methyltransferase activity on DNA-modified electrodes confers protection from restriction for signal-on detection. We implement this assay with a multiplexed chip platform and show robust detection of both bacterial (SssI) and human (Dnmt1) methyltransferase activity. Essential to work with human methyltransferases; our unique assay design allows activity measurements on both unmethylated and hemimethylated DNA substrates. We validate this assay by comparison with a conventional radioactive method. The advantages of electrochemistry over radioactivity and fluorescence make this assay an accessible and promising new approach for the sensitive; label-free detection of human methyltransferase activity. © 2013 American Chemical Society;
