Abstract
Thermal shift assay (TSA) is a widely used method in discovering potential compounds (e.g., ligands, inhibitors, and other additives) to the target protein for structural genomics and drug screening in both academia and industry. The presence of sensitive fluorescent dye enables to monitor thermal stability of protein and compounds affecting this stability. By using a conventional real-time PCR instrument, it is determined as a low-cost and high efficacy experiment applied to identify optimal conditions for ligand binds to protein. Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are small molecular proteins in transporting fatty acids and other lipophilic substances in physiological and pathological responses. This chapter presents a comprehensive workflow to monitor recombinant FABP-compound interactions for an initial screening for inhibitors using TSA with SYPRO Orange dye.Entities:
