Molecular Beacon Based Helicase Assays Using a Microplate Reader
16 Jul 2013Read this application note from BMG LABTECH to learn how to carry out an MBHA. Helicases are motor proteins that bind duplex nucleic acids in order to separate and/or rearrange them. This assay was used to determine the effect of potential inhibitors on the activity of a particular helicase encoded by the hepatitis C virus.
