The Human Transferrin / Transferrin R Inhibitor Screening Kit (TR-FRET) is based on a homogeneous (no wash) competitive TR-FRET technology (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) to screen for inhibitors of human transferrin binding to transferrin R within 0.5-1 hours. It can also be used as a universal detection tool to identify the ability of human transferrin to bind to human transferrin R.

This Human Transferrin / Transferrin R Inhibitor Screening Kit (TR-FRET) is based on TR-FRET technology (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). This assay uses the mixture of biotinylated human transferrin and Europium-chelate labeled streptavidin as the Donor and FA Labeled Human Transferrin R as the Acceptor.
— When the sample does not contain the inhibitors that block the binding of human transferrin to human transferrin R, the Donor and Acceptor are in close proximity because of the binding of human transferrin and human transferrin R. Upon Donor excitation with light of a specific wavelength (337nm), in addition to Donor emission (620nm), non-radiative transfer of energy occurs between Donor and Acceptor, resulting in Acceptor emission (665nm).
— When the sample contains the inhibitors that block the binding of human transferrin to human transferrin R, the components inhibit the binding between the Donor and Acceptor and thereby prevent FRET from occurring.
