The Enzolution Assay Systems offer a complete assay solution ready to tackle your toughest enzyme targets. They include the enzyme, substrate, assay plates, and buffer components needed to perform an enzymatic reaction. The Transcreener® Assay (sold separately) detects the produced nucleotide using antibodies paired with high-affinity fluorescent tracers. Displacement of the tracer by the nucleotide causes a change in its fluorescent properties that can be read on a compatible plate reader.

BellBrook Labs focuses on developing complete assay solutions for tougher enzyme targets that are difficult to source enzymes and/or develop assays for (so researchers can focus on optimizing their lead molecules). Currently, Enzolution Assay Systems are available for:

  Enzolution Assay Systems
  CD38
MDA5
PARG
POLQ
  RIG-I
TREX1
WRN Helicase

Lead Discovery Services

BellBrook Labs also offers lead discovery services for scientists looking to advance their program without bringing a biochemical assay in-house. Their services feature custom assay conditions, quick turnaround times, and direct collaboration with a BellBrook scientist. 

Scientist Performing Assay Services

Lead discovery services can include:

  • Inhibitor Screening - To detect or confirm activity with the target
  • Inhibitor Potency Profiling - Dose response with the target and/or associated proteins. Fast IC50 results
  • Residence Time Measurements - Koff determination using the “jump dilution” method
  • Mechanism of Action Studies- Kinetic study to determine the mechanism of inhibition
  • Triaging Non-stoichiometric Inhibitors - Run experiments under a variety of conditions, such as varied detergent and enzyme concentrations
  • Evaluate Compound-Target Binding - Using changes in melting temperature, conduct thermal shift assays to verify compound-target engagement
