Overview
Ligand binding assays (LBAs) are essential tools in early-stage drug discovery and research, used to measure molecular interactions and quantify biomarkers or therapeutic agents in biological matrices.
We offer a comprehensive range of ligand binding assays to support
G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) studies. GPCRs are a large family of cell-surface proteins that transmit signals into cells, playing a key role in physiological processes. Understanding how ligands interact with GPCRs provides valuable data for drug development, particularly in determining binding affinity and specificity.
