Overview

Kinases play a fundamental role in human biology, controlling many cellular processes through protein phosphorylation. Disregulation of kinase function leads to diseases like cancer, inflammation and diabetes. Kinases are very similar in their active site architecture, which leads to cross-reactivity amongst kinase targeted small-molecule inhibitors.

It is important to determine the affinity and selectivity of such inhibitors to minimize off-target effects while optimizing desired selectivity profiles. Luceome's KinaseSeeker™ is a high throughput screening and profiling service for evaluation of compounds against a panel of kinases.

 
Technology

Luceome's KinaseSeeker™ assay technology utilizes the luciferase fragment complementation, in which re-assembly of a split-protein leads to a functional luciferase enzyme and bioluminescence. In Luceome's proprietary assay, the reassembly of the luciferase fragments is dependent upon the interaction of a kinase with a small molecule. This assay thus directly measures the ability of a specific kinase to bind to a customer-provided small molecule inhibitor.

Since the assay is luminescence based, background interference and hence false positives from test compounds is minimized during kinase-profiling.
