Abstract
Screening assays for identifying ligase activity modulators are provided, in both solid phase and liquid phase formats. Solid phase formats detect ligase activity by ligating a labelled nucleic acid to a capture nucleic acid in the presence of the ligase modulator and detection of the labelled nucleic acid. Liquid phase assays detect ligation-dependent changes in interactive labels between nucleic acids such as proximity quenching of fluorescent labels. Compositions, apparatus and integrated systems for assays are also provided.
