View Our Kinase Inhibitor Residence Time Webinar Anytime!
Monday, 11 May 2015
Analysis of inhibitor residence times is increasingly being incorporated into lead development efforts because longer engagement with the target can result in improved efficacy, increased therapeutic window and reduced side effects. Though residence time can be determined using immobilized ligand methods such surface plasmon resonance, conjugation of drugs can affect their binding. In this webinar,

A Specific Inhibitor for a Promiscuous Glycosyltransferase
Thursday, 23 April 2015
O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) is a promiscuous covalent regulatory enzyme that affects diverse cellular processes by attaching O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) residues to intracellular proteins including kinases, phosphatases, transcription factors, and histones. Though recent evidence suggests that OGT may be an anti-cancer target, developing a specific inhibitor that does not interfere with cell surface glycans is a

Killing Two Kinases with One Drug
Thursday, 26 March 2015
Cancer cells are characterized by a complex network of interrelated and compensatory signaling driving multiple kinases that reduce their sensitivity to targeted therapy. Strategies that inhibit two or more kinases are needed to block the growth of refractory tumor cells. Researchers at McGill University (Canada), led by Dr. Suman Rao at the Cancer Drug Research

Learn How the Transcreener® ADP2 Assay Can Determine Drug-Kinase Residence Time
Thursday, 30 October 2014
Our newest application note provides a protocol and experimental example for the use of the Transcreener ADP2 FP Assay to determine the residence time of a drug (or drug candidate) during its interaction with a kinase. The duration of residence time can be highly relevant for assessing the durable pharmacologic effects of a drug candidate.

New Application Note: High Throughput GEF Assay using the Transcreener GDP Assay
Thursday, 16 October 2014
This Application note serves as a guide for using the Transcreener® GDP Assay to detect the activity of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) based on their stimulation of steady state GTPase activity. As an example, an assay was developed using Dbs, a Rho-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (RhoGEF) in combination with two monomeric GTPases, CDC42

Ensuring Assay Success: The Right Plate Makes All The Difference
Thursday, 19 June 2014
Transcreener® HTS Assays rely on direct immunodetection of nucleotides with a far-red readout in a simple mix-and-read format. The assays are available in three different detection modes, fluorescence polarization (FP), fluorescence intensity (FI), and time resolved Forster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET). A good microplate reader and the right choice of plates to differentiate specific signal
