BellBrook Labs Webinar: Streamlining ATPase and Kinase Assay Development using Direct ADP Detection
Madison, WI (PRWEB) May 07, 2014 -- Join us for a webinar on Wednesday, May 14th at 11:00 AM CDT: Streamlining ATPase and Kinase Assay Development using Direct ADP Detection
Biochemical HTS assays are a critical component of drug discovery programs focused on kinases and other types of ATP-dependent enzymes, such as chaperonins and helicases. Assembling, evaluating and optimizing high quality enzymes and assay reagents can be a costly and time consuming undertaking. The shift toward screening focused libraries against multiple targets in parallel can add to the assay development burden substantially.
In this webinar you will learn:
• How Transcreener assays work: homogenous immunodetection of nucleotides with far red fluorescent readouts.
• Why highly selective immunodetection of ADP is advantageous over more complex methods that rely on coupling enzymes to convert ADP to a detectable product.
• How monitoring ADP production in real time allows optimization of multiple assay parameters using a single reaction.
• How to obtain accurate IC50 values directly from raw Transcreener data, and eliminate the need for standard curves.
Participants should come away confident that they can apply a rapid, user friendly solution to screen or profile kinases and other types of ATP dependent enzymes with minimal pilot experimentation and reagent usage.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
