Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  HTS Dose response counterscreen for assays utilizing the enzyme, beta-galactosidase - Set 3
Description:  Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute(SBMRI, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Number: 1X01DA026208-01 Assay Provider: Dr. Lawrance Barak , Duke University, Durham, NC b-galactosidase (b-gal), a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of b-galactosides to monosaccharides is utilized in many different screening technologies involving enzyme reaction coupling and reporter assays. This assay was developed and performed as a counterscreen for the primary assay originally identified as "uHTS identification of small molecule antagonists of the CCR6 receptor via a luminescent beta-arrestin assay", AID 493098. By detecting inhibitors and activators of this enzyme, it is possible to attribute activity not to the primary assay in question, but rather to interaction with the method of detection. References Fowler et al. (1970).
