Improper function of the tumor suppressor protein p53 is a contributing factor in many human cancers. In normal cells, p53 acts to arrest the cell cycle in response to DNA damage or nucleotide depletion. One mechanism of regulating the amount of p53 in the cell is through the action of the Double Mi

✦ Synopsis
Fluorescence polarization has been widely used for the studies on the molecular motion in solution and has been applied to immunoassays for proteins, therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical pharmacy, and assays for environmentally toxic compounds. Because fluorescence polarization is most readily applicable to the kinetic analysis of the binding reaction between a substance having small molecular mass and a receptor molecule, this method is easily applied to the analysis of carbohydrate-lectin binding. In this tutorial Thematic Review, we briefly introduce the principles of fluorescence polarization and some applications of fluorescence polarization technique to glycobiology.
