Binding Affinity Ranking

Estimate dissociation constants (KD) for up to 200,000 peptide–protein interactions simultaneously in a single assay.

THE CHALLENGE

What end-point assays don’t tell you

Conventional end-point measurements can be misleading because the fluorescence intensity is influenced by both the peptide’s binding characteristics, as well as its synthesis yield.

As a result, peptides with different KD values can produce similar signals under saturated conditions, while peptides with similar affinities may yield different signals.

This makes it impossible to accurately rank or compare binding strengths without proper affinity measurements.

THE SOLUTION

Measure repeatedly, model correctly.

To overcome the limitations of end-point measurements, we perform a concentration series of the analyte and record binding signals across multiple concentrations.

By fitting the resulting curves to a 1:1 Langmuir binding model, we accurately extract dissociation constants KD for each peptide–protein interaction.

This allows for precise affinity ranking, even across peptides with varying synthesis yields or binding kinetics.

1

We design and synthesize a high-density peptide library in microarray format.

2

Your protein is applied in a concentration series, and fluorescence is recorded across all peptide spots.

3

We fit binding curves for each peptide to estimate KD values and rank peptide–protein interactions.
