Protein kinases are ideal drug targets for therapeutic intervention since they are involved in numerous signaling pathways that are known to contribute to human diseases including cancer, diabetes, ...
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), play a central role in the timely breakdown of extracellular matrix. This is essential for processes such as embryonic development, morphogenesis, tissue resorption ...
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is an important second messenger involved in the regulation of many biological processes. Identifying novel drugs or agonists, which modulate its production, is therefore key to ...
Modern CCD equipment is capable of imaging a standard microtitre plate in one short exposure. This can drastically reduce the time required to quantitate all 384 wells in a plate compared to ...
Homogeneous Fluorescence Polarization (FP) assays have previously been reported for the binding of telenzepine to Chinese Hamster Ovary cells expressing the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. We ...
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of structurally and functionally related enzymes which are involved in the normal, physiological turnover of extracellular matrix proteins. MMP activity ...
Cathepsin D is one of the major lysosomal aspartyl proteases in almost all mammalian cells which degrades various substrates at an optimal pH of 3.5-5. This endopeptidase has been linked with various ...
Members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family play an important role in tissue remodeling and repair. However, inappropriate MMP activity has been implicated in a number of disease states ...
DNA helicases are ubiquitous enzymes involved in almost all aspects of nucleic acid metabolism including DNA replication and repair. They couple the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to the unwinding of ...
Cathepsin D is a lysosomal aspartic proteinase found in almost all mammalian cells. In addition to the normal physiological processing of intracellular proteins, cathepsin D has been implicated in a ...
The LEADseeker programme from Amersham Biosciences combines CCD based imaging technology with a range of proprietary reagent toolboxes to support the development of homogeneous, miniaturised, ...
Signal transduction events and molecular interactions are popular targets for drug discovery by pharmaceutical companies. Radioactive methodologies are often employed; scintillation proximity asssay ...
The recent introduction of new fluorescent dyes with improved photophysical properties has made high throughput fluorescence assay technologies practicable. This advance in fluor properties has also ...
The application of FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) molecules used as substrates in enzyme assays has attracted much recent interest. Homogeneous enzyme cleavage assays using FRET in a ...
The drive for increased throughput within the drug discovery process has prompted a new phase of assay development combining miniaturisation with automation. In parallel, there has also been a ...
Fluorescence Anisotropy (FA) was first described in 1926. These investigations derived several equations, the principles of which have been adapted subsequently to describe the use of a Fluorescence ...
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurs between two neighbouring fluorophores when the emission spectrum of one (the donor) overlaps the excitation spectrum of the second (the acceptor). ...
Cyanine dyes were first synthesised in the mid 1800’s for the photographic industry as spectral sensitisers ordesensitisers for silver halide emulsion films. However, in recent years interest in ...
