Accelerating Discovery of Kinase Inhibitors Using an ADP Assay
Tuesday, 23 February 2021
An ADP assay can be used to study the activity of enzymes that phosphorylate substrates leading to signaling events in the body. One of a variety of post-translational modifications, protein phosphorylation regulates a diverse group of cellular functions. In cancer, abnormal phosphorylation events often play a role in proliferation, survival, motility, metabolism, and angiogenesis.1 PI3K

A Search for NLRP3 Inhibitors to Fight Autoimmune Disease
Wednesday, 08 July 2020
Can NLRP3 inhibitors help treat autoimmune disease? – The human immune response is complicated and we continue to discover pathways involved that add to the complexity. Different than the adaptive immune response, the innate response acts quickly and is considered the first line of defense against pathogens and foreign DNA. In order to do its

Using an ATPase Activity Assay for Drug Discovery
Wednesday, 06 March 2019
What are ATPases? Many people are familiar with the abbreviation ATP, which stands for the molecule adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the fascinating energy carrier of cellular processes and is involved in energy transfer in all living organisms. The energy released upon the chemical transformation from ATP to ADP is used in a myriad of biochemical
