Presentation: 3C01 Session: Target Biology & Screening: Kinases & ProteasesBernd Gerhartz, Ulrich Hassiepen, Nils Ostermann, Benoit Pierrat and Joerg Trappe, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research Presenting Author: Joreg Trappe, Novartis - Switzerland Traditionally, progress in the development of protease inhibitors has been hampered to a large degree by their limited selectivity. Therefore, the ability to efficiently profile compounds against a large panel of protease assays is important to successfully discover new generation protease drugs. In order to efficiently profile compounds within and across the various assay panels, we have developed a semi-automated parallel screening technology which is linked to a high capacity data analysis tool. |
