Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method for detection of an enzyme-substrate reaction by capturing the product of the reaction on a solid support. More closely, the invention relates to a solid phase system for enzyme characterisation and screening of enzyme-targeted drugs. The method comprises the following steps a) rapidly mixing an enzyme solution with a substrate solution to start a reaction between enzyme and substrate wherein said reaction may result in product formation; and b) monitoring any binding of the product to a capturing agent immobilised on a solid surface, wherein said capturing agent is directed against the product of the enzymatic reaction. In a preferred embodiment the method comprises a further step c) measuring the initial rate of the product binding to the capturing agent and thereby characterize the enzymatic reaction. The method may also be used for drug screening.
