Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Time Resolved-Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) Assay
Description:  The inhibition constant (Ki) is the dissociation constant of an enzyme-inhibitor complex or a protein/small molecule complex, wherein the small molecule is inhibiting binding of one protein to another protein or peptide. Where the Ki for a compound is represented as > (greater than) a certain numerical value, it is intended to mean that the binding affinity value (e.g., for Bcl-XL) is greater than the limits of detection of the assay used. Where the binding selectivity ratio for a compound is represented as > (greater than) a certain numerical value, it is intended to mean that the selectivity of a particular compound for Bcl-2 over Bcl-XL is at least as great as the number indicated. Where the Ki for a compound is represented as < (less than) a certain numerical value, it is intended to mean that the binding affinity value (e.g., for Bcl-2) is lower than the limit of detection of the assay used. Inhibition constants were determined using Wang's equation (Wang Z-X).
