KinomeScout

Versatile tool for kinase biology in drug discovery
  • KinomeScout™ works with native proteins in their physiological setting to direct the design of potent and selective small molecule drug candidates
  • The technology is based on a kinase-binding matrix that can be used to measure the potency of compounds of ~300 different kinases and other ATP binding proteins (such as helicases or phospho-diesterases)
  • No label on drug or protein required
  • Target and biomarker discovery: KinomeScout™ can be used to analyse kinase expression in different tissues (e.g. healthy vs. disease). Kinases only present in the disease state are target and biomarker candidates
  • Selectivity profiling: With KinomeScout™ leads and drug candidates can be tested against all kinases in a tissue or cell type in one experiment to identify (unwanted) off-targets
