Fluorescence polarization (FP), also known as Fluorescence anisotropy, is commonly used in early-phase drug discovery. When a fluorescent molecule is excited by polarized light, the polarization degree of the emitted wavelength is determined by the rate of molecular rotation. A fluorescently labeled small molecule rotates rapidly in solution, therefore the light emitted is depolarized. On the other hand, when a fluorescent probe is binding to a target protein, its rotation is slower, and the emission wavelength is polarized.
This method can be used to study molecular interactions (binding, kinetics, etc.) and enzyme activities in solution. The main advantage of fluorescence polarization is the possibility of performing anhomogenous assay, making it especially suitable for High Throughput Screening approaches.
We have validated several of our fluorescent ligands as optimal tools for FP, both on membrane preparations from cell cultures and on membrane extracts from baculovirus.
