  • High sensitivity assay for detection of nucleoside diphosphate production
    Patent number: 7824880
    Abstract: The present invention provides assays for detecting ADP, GDP and inorganic phosphate. These assays can be used directly to detect the presence of ADP, GDP and inorganic phosphate or can be used as part of a number of methods for identifying candidate agents that bind to a target protein or serve as modulators of the biological activity of a target protein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2010
    Assignee: Cytokinetics
    Inventors: Ramesh Baliga, Donglin Guo, Daniel W. Pierce, Jeffrey T. Finer
