Abstract: | Fluorescence polarization is a screening technology that is radioactivity free, homogeneous, and ratiometric. The signal measured with this technology is a weighted value of free and bound ligand. As a consequence, saturation curves are accessible only after calculation of the corresponding concentrations of free and bound ligand. To make this technology more accessible to assay development, the authors propose a simple mathematical model that predicts fluorescence polarization values from ligand and receptor total concentrations, depending on the corresponding dissociation constant. This model was validated using data of Bodipy-NDP-alphaMSH binding to MC(5), obtained after either ligand saturation of a receptor preparation or, conversely, receptor saturation of a ligand solution. These experimental data were also used to calculate the actual concentration of free and bound ligand and receptor and to obtain pharmacological constants by Scatchard analysis. A general method is proposed, which facilitates the design of fluorescence polarization binding assays by relying on the representation of theoretical polarization values. This approach is illustrated by the application to 2 systems of very different affinities. |
