Once the potency and selectivity of a potential drug is confirmed in vitro, the final step in LifeSensors’ drug discovery program is to confirm the hits in a cell-based assay as it is much closer to in vivo conditions. Many factors can lead to the effect of a potential drug not being translated in a cell-based assay such being degraded or binding to other proteins in the cell lysate. More importantly, LifeSensors’ cell-based assays represent an efficient method for a high throughput PROTAC screen that allow researchers to monitor PROTAC-mediated protein degradation.
PROTAC Strategy
PROTAC molecules can be used to hijack the ubiquitin proteasome system to degrade disease associated proteins.
Our Cell-based and PROTAC Assays
LifeSensors has developed several assays for in vitro monitoring. Our assays utilize our proprietary TUBE technology for the detection of ubiquitinated proteins.
