ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to electrochemiluminescent assays for detecting helicase activity. The invention provides a helicase assay that is rapid, sensitive and suitable for high throughput screening for helicase inhibitors. Helicase inhibitors represent a class of pharmacological agents useful for the treatment of disease.
