Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Assay
Description:  DiscoverX binding assays were performed according to published methods (Fabian et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 23, 329-36 (2005); Davis et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 29, 1046-51 (2011)). Compounds that bind an active site of a protein (e.g., a kinase, such as BMX, BLK, BTK, JAK3, EGFR(T790M), ITK, TEC, mTOR, or mTORC1) and directly (sterically) or indirectly (allosterically) prevent protein binding to the immobilized ligand, will reduce the amount of protein captured on a solid support. Conversely, compounds that do not bind the protein have no effect on the amount of protein captured on the solid support. Screening hits are identified by measuring the amount of protein captured in test versus control samples by using a quantitative, precise, and ultra-sensitive qPCR method that detects the associated DNA label. In a similar manner, dissociation constants (Kd's) for compound-protein interactions are calculated by measuring the amount of protein captured on the solid support as a function of the test compound concentration.
