Assay for evaluating affinity and specificity of ligand-albumin binding

A method for identifying a ligand or compound which binds to albumin comprises the steps of contacting a reaction mixture comprising a site-specific probe and albumin in the presence and the absence of the ligand or compound and measuring either dissociation constant KD, inhibitor concentration IC50...

Zusammenfassung:A method for identifying a ligand or compound which binds to albumin comprises the steps of contacting a reaction mixture comprising a site-specific probe and albumin in the presence and the absence of the ligand or compound and measuring either dissociation constant KD, inhibitor concentration IC50 or fluorescence displacement; whereby a change in KD, IC50 and/or fluorescence in the presence of the ligand or compound is indicative of the ligand or compound binds to albumin.
