US Patent 11994521 Methods for measuring inter- and/or intra-molecular interactions

A method for measuring interactions between labeled particles and ligands comprising the steps: a) providing a sample comprising labeled particles and ligands in a solution, wherein the labeled particles are dissolved or dispersed in the solution or are immobilized on a solid support; b) exciting fluorescently the labeled particles and detecting the fluorescence of the excited particles at a predetermined temperature; c) repeating steps (a) and (b) multiple times at different concentrations of the ligands in the solution; and d) determining the interaction between the labeled particles and the ligands based on the ligand concentration dependent change of the fluorescence of the labeled particles, wherein the labeled particles are labeled with one or more dyes.
