A thermal shift assay (TSA) involves measuring the effect of a compound on the thermal stability of a protein as an indirect measure of ligand binding. In this chapter, we provide a protocol for a conventional TSA with recombinant/purified proteins using differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF), followed by a protocol for a Cellular Thermal Shift Assay (CETSA), which measures the soluble cellular protein remaining after a transient heat shock of live cells to detect intracellular ligand binding.
热迁移分析(TSA)涉及测量化合物对蛋白质热稳定性的影响,作为配体结合的间接测量。在本章中,我们提供了使用差示扫描荧光法(DSF)对重组/纯化蛋白进行常规 TSA 的方案,随后提供了细胞热迁移分析(CETSA)的方案,该方案测量活细胞短暂热休克后可溶性细胞蛋白的剩余量,以检测细胞内配体结合。
