Biochemical Assays

A biochemical assay is an analytical method for quantifying the activity of a biological molecule or a cellular process. The assays provide valuable insights into metabolic reactions and the mechanisms of action of biomolecules such as enzymes and proteins. In addition, biochemical assays can be used to identify and characterize protein-protein, protein-RNA, and protein-DNA interactions. They are used in basic as well as in applied research and represent a helpful tool for characterizing drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.
