ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to the field of immunoassays. More particularly, the invention is an immunological method and apparatus that measures the activity of an enzyme.
There are no known immunological methods to determine protein activity.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, a brief summary of the instant invention is that it measures an enzyme by utilization of antibodies to the enzyme substrate.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a means to permit the activity measurement of a variety of enzymes using one antibody.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a means to screen for compounds that change the activity of a protein. Still further objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the ensuing description and accompanying drawings.
