  • Patent number: 9759717
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of quantitatively analyzing and detecting interactions, which effectively occur between detector materials displayed on a nano-assembly matrix at high density, and sensitively labeling and isolating a target material that effectively interacts with the detector materials, by the use of energy transfer and signal changes that effectively occur in label molecules displayed at high density. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method of quantitatively detecting the interactions between various bioactive materials, which occur in vitro or in vivo, based on high-density displays of molecules, and to a method of sensitively labeling a target material that interacts with these bioactive materials.

  • Publication number: 20170030896
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of regulating or inducing specific physiological conditions or functions using one or more materials displayed on a nano-assembly matrix at high density in cells or in vivo. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method of effectively inducing specific physiological regulation in cells or in vivo by the high-density display of bioactive materials. According to the method of the invention, physiological regulation in cells or in vivo can be optionally induced by regulating the assembly and disassembly of nano (assembly) matrices or the display or trapping of specific materials on nano (assembly) matrices.

  • Patent number: 9164090
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for dynamically detecting the interactions between various materials including bioactive molecules and for detecting target molecules. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for dynamically detecting bait-prey interactions and a method for easily detecting target molecules which blocks or activates the interactions, the method comprising: allowing a material capable of forming a nano-assembly matrix, a bait and a prey to interact with each other, and analyzing whether a nano-assembly matrix is formed by the interaction between the bait and the prey in vitro or in vivo; or allowing a material capable of forming a nano-assembly matrix, a bait and a prey to interact with each other, inducing the formation of a nano-assembly matrix by a mediator (regulator) material in vitro or in vivo, and then analyzing whether the prey and the bait co-localizes on the nano-assembly matrix.

  • Publication number: 20080242557
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for detecting interactions between molecules, such as, biomolecules, and relates to a method for screening target molecules, both in vivo and in vitro. In this invention, the first detecting material and the second detecting material are provided, wherein the first detecting material is bound to a localizer which is translocated by externally applied driving force, and the second detecting material is bound to a label. Thus, the complex of the first detecting material and the second detecting material can be detected reversibly by changing the strength of the externally applied driving force, and the target molecule can be screened effectively.

  • Publication number: 20040121365
    Abstract: The present invention provides assays for identifying compounds that affect the transcriptional activity of a protein of interest or affect the stability of the protein of interest. The triple readout assay system which can be used to identify compounds that affect the transcriptional activity of a protein of interest uses three cell lines to control for non-specific effects such as sequences flanking the inserted gene and cytotoxicity. The double readout assay system assesses protein stability and uses a fusion protein of a reporter and the protein of interest. These assay systems may be particularly useful in identifying compounds that affect transcription factors and tumor suppressors. In a particular embodiment, the tumor suppressor p53 is the target protein being studied.
