  • Patent number: 9428789
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for classifying and distinguishing between type I and type II kinase inhibitors. The method involves the use of non-linear optical techniques, in particular second-harmonic generation (SHG) to identify conformational changes in kinase proteins obtained from known type I or type II inhibitors. The method further involves deducing the manner of binding of unknown inhibitors by comparison with the signal changes produced by known ligands. The method is also applied to comparing the conformational changes induced by the binding of generic and branded kinase inhibitor drugs to a target kinase.

  • Publication number: 20140187433
    Abstract: A nonlinear optical technique, such as second or third harmonic or sum or difference frequency generation, is used to detect binding interactions, or the degree or extent of binding, that comprise conformational change. In one aspect of the present invention, the nonlinear optical technique detects a conformational change in a probe due to target binding. In another aspect of the invention, the nonlinear optical technique screens candidate probes by detecting a conformational change due to a probe-target interaction. In another aspect of the invention, the nonlinear optical technique screens candidate modulators of a probe-target interaction by detecting a conformational change in the presence of the modulator.
