The system comprises mixing a fluorescence-emitting compound that binds to the steroid hormone receptors in a solution containing the steroid hormone receptors. Then, measuring the fluorescence polarization of the solution. Subsequently, incubating the solution with at least one molecule that may compete with the compound for interaction with the steroid hormone receptors. Measuring the fluorescence polarization of the solution again. Finally, comparing the fluorescence polarization measurements to quantify any competitive interaction.

Method for quantitating competitive binding of molecules to proteins utilizing fluorescence polarization

The present invention is based on the degradation of a fluorescence labeled nucleic acid such as DNA (F-DNA), RNA (F-RNA) or DNA/RNA substrate. The label may be covalently attached to the relatively high volume substrate at one position or many positions. The nucleic acid is then put in contact with another substance and activity is detected by Fluorescence Polarization.

Method and kit for detecting nucleic acid cleavage utilizing a

Lysophosphatidic acids are used to enhance fibronectin binding. This assists in the process of wound healing. The acids are exogenously supplied. In one aspect, a kit is provided containing a skin salve that contains the acid or a salt thereof.
