The bleomycins (BLMs) are well-known antineoplastic agents, clinically useful in the treatment of squamous cell carcinomas and malignant lymphomas. The carbohydrate moiety, particularly the disaccharide moiety, of BLM is also known to be highly tumor targeting. Researchers at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University have discovered disaccharides...

High throughput parallel assays are needed to effectively identify and study biomolecules and their activity. Typically it takes a large number of repeated assays to get statistically significant data for studying biomolecules. However, fewer assays would be needed to get statistically meaningful results if the data were of higher quality. Because of...

The ability to measure molecular binding and interactions is important for understanding many biological processes. Particularly important is detecting the binding of small molecule drugs with their corresponding membrane protein receptors, which currently account for more than half of all drug targets. For effective measurements, purified membrane...
