HIGH-THROUGHPUT SCREENING ASSAYS FOR MODULATORS OF NUCLEIC ACID TOPOISOMERASES

摘要

This invention provides novel assays for topoisomerase activity and for identifying topoisomerase inhibitors. The assays include both solid-phase and liquid-phase methods that are amenable to high throughput screening methods. The assays of the invention are readily adaptable to numerous types of topoisomerase, and are capable of identifying novel classes of topoisomerase activity modulators.
