Novel Fluorescence Competition Assay for Retinoic Acid Binding Proteins [PDF]
Vitamin A derived retinoid compounds have multiple, powerful roles in the cellular growth and development cycle and, as a result, have attracted significant attention from both academic and pharmaceutical research in developing and characterizing synthetic retinoid analogues.

Detection of SARS-CoV 2 receptor binding domain using fluorescence probe and DNA flowers enabled by rolling circle amplification [PDF]
Using rolling circle amplification (RCA) and two different ways of signal readout, we developed analytical methods to detect the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV 2 spike protein (S protein). We modified streptavidin-coated magnetic beads with an

Visualizing helicases unwinding DNA at the single molecule level. [PDF]
DNA helicases are motor proteins that catalyze the unwinding of double-stranded DNA into single-stranded DNA using the free energy from ATP hydrolysis. Single molecule approaches enable us to address detailed mechanistic questions about how such enzymes ...

Allosteric inhibition of cobalt binding to albumin by fatty acids : implications for the detection of myocardial ischemia [PDF]
The biomarker "ischemia-modified albumin" (IMA), measured by the albumin-cobalt-binding assay (ACB assay), is the only FDA-approved biomarker for early diagnosis of myocardial ischemia.

Screening for oligonucleotide binding affinity by a convenient fluorescence competition assay [PDF]
A competitive homogeneous quenched fluorescence assay system is described for the high throughput screening of DNA conjugates that bind to single-stranded DNA. Fluorescence signal is generated by competitive binding of the sample molecule to a target strand labelled with a quencher probe, which is otherwise hybridised to a complementary strand ...

Immunofunctional assay of human growth hormone (hGH) in serum: A possible consensus for quantitative hGH measurement [PDF]
Confirmation of the diagnosis of GH deficiency in adults and children involves provocative testing for human (h) GH. Different commercially available immunoassays yield largely discrepant results in the measurement of GH levels in human serum.

Fluorescent Receptor Binding Assay for Detecting Ciguatoxins in Fish
Ciguatera fish poisoning is an illness suffered by > 50,000 people yearly after consumption of fish containing ciguatoxins (CTXs). One of the current methodologies to detect ciguatoxins in fish is a radiolabeled receptor binding assay (RBA(R)). However, the license requirements and regulations pertaining to radioisotope utilization can limit the ...

Development of a competitive fluorescence-based synaptosome binding assay for brevetoxins [PDF]
Brevetoxins are a family of ladder-frame polyether toxins produced during blooms of the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Inhalation of brevetoxins aerosolized by wind and wave action can lead to asthma-like symptoms in beach goers. Consumption of either shellfish or finfish exposed to K.
