A method of stimulating non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) of DNA the method comprising performing NHEJ of DNA in the presence of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP
6
) or other stimulatory inositol phosphate. An assay of a protein kinase wherein the assay comprises inositol hexakisphosphate (IP
6
) or other stimulatory inositol phosphate. The invention also provides screening assays for compounds which may modulate NHEJ and which may be therapeutically useful; and screening assays for compounds which may modulate DNA-PK and related protein kinases and which may be therapeutically useful. Methods of modulating NHEJ and protein kinases are also disclosed.
