Read MoreQuantifying Receptor-Ligand Binding to GPCRs in Live Cells - A new HTS format Replaces Radioactive Ligand StudiesNov 28, 2012
Ligand binding affinities at G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have historically been determined using a radioligand that competes for receptor binding sites against an unlabeled drug-like compound. But the potential hazards of open-source radioisotope handling, and the environmental impact of radioisotope disposal, make this a less desirable, costly technology
New methods, such as the development of fluorescent ligands for GPCRs (CellAura Tehnologies, Ltd.) provide a safer method for determining ligand binding affinities. However, measurement of fluorescent ligands binding to cells relies on capturing and processing complex high resolution images. This approach can be lengthy and can result in 96-well plate read times of approximately 30 minutes or more...
