  • Patent number: 10458993
    Abstract: The invention provides an assay for assessing the conformational stability of a membrane protein, comprising: (a) providing a sample comprising a first population and a second population of a membrane protein; wherein the membrane protein in the first population is labelled with a donor label and the membrane protein in the second population is labelled with an acceptor label, or the membrane protein in the first population is labelled with an acceptor label and the membrane protein in the second population is labelled with a donor label, (b) exposing the first and second populations of the membrane protein to a stability modulating agent and/or condition, (c) and assessing aggregation between membrane proteins of the first and second populations by activating the donor label to permit a distance-dependent interaction with the acceptor label, which interaction produces a detectable signal.
