A Homogeneous Assay for Biomolecule Interaction Analysis in Droplets by Flourescence Polarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel homogeneous assay for detecting biomolecule interactions in microdroplets by fluorescence polarization (FP) for the first time. The FP assay allows the detection of target biomolecules directly after incubation without removing the detection reagent by separation or washing, making the assay amenable to automation. Using this assay we evaluate protein-protein and drug-DNA interactions. We detect these interactions at concentrations as low as 100nM and 69 pM respectively. This is a proof-of-concept homogeneous labeling assay in droplets for detecting biomacromolecules.

A shower cooling tower (SCT) operates without fill because of salt decomposition on the fill that leads to deterioration of conventional cooling tower performance. This study presents a two-dimensional mathematical model for energy and exergy analysis of multi-diameter droplets and air interaction along with the height of the forced draft SCT, to predict the exit condition of water droplet for ...

متن کاملFluorescence polarization assay to quantify protein-protein interactions: an update.
A fluorescence polarization assay can be used to evaluate the strength of a protein-protein interaction. A green fluorescent protein variant is fused to one of the protein partners. The formation of a complex is then deduced from an increase in fluorescence polarization, and the equilibrium dissociation constant of the complex is determined in a homogeneous aqueous environment. The assay is dem...
متن کاملElectrical Tweezer for Droplet Transportation, Extraction, Merging and DNA Analysis
Droplets of aqueous solutions distributed in an immiscible oil phase are increasingly used and investigated as a means to handle and assay small volumes of samples. The primary attraction of this method is that surface interactions are kept to a minimum, and changes in sample concentration, especially due to adsorption to the walls, are avoided. Microfluidic methods to generate, transport, merg...
