Abstract
A method of testing an agent for its potential at modulating induction of a molecular weight change of a first polyion is disclosed. The method is effected by (a) subjecting the first polyion to conditions under-which the first polyion undergoing the molecular weight change in a presence, in an absence or under several different concentrations of the agent; (b) interacting the first polyion with a second polyion having an opposite charge, the second polyion being fluorescently labeled; (c) providing reaction conditions so as to allow molecular weight discriminative interaction between the first polyion and the second polyion; and (d) employing a fluorescence polarization assay for determining a modulating effect of the agent on the induction of the molecular weight change of the first polyion.
