  • Homogeneous fluorescence polarization assay for high throughput screening
    Publication number: 20050130197
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method of determining whether an analyte binds to a target molecule in a sample comprising contacting the target molecule with a tracer molecule, wherein a bond is formed between the target molecule and the tracer molecule to form a target molecule/tracer molecule complex; contacting the target molecule/tracer molecule complex with the sample containing the analyte; and measuring fluorescence polarization of the tracer molecule over time to determine whether the analyte binds to the target molecule, wherein decreased fluorescence polarization over time indicates that the analyte binds to the target molecule, and wherein the reaction is conducted in the presence of a block copolymer surfactant.
