Re: [ccp4bb] Assays for protein-ligand interaction?

You can try MST(MicroScale Thermophoresis), if there is an instrument
available.
It is like a mini ITC, but much more versatile.
The sample consumption is very low, claimed by the company that sells the
instrument.
http://www.nanotemper-technologies.com/technology/microscale-thermophoresis/article/key-features/
It is possible to ask the company to perform a demo and test some samples
in your lab.

Good luck,
Jia-Ying

Specifically for fluorescence

does your ligand fluoresce?

It is possible if it has indol group or some aromatic organic compound

 

Does your protein has a tryptophan or tyrosines in the binding site?

If yes may be a fluorescence titration experiment could be the solution.

 

Also fluorescence needs  very low concentration of protein (nM to microM)

That would be really great if anyone suggest any idea. Sorry for the off topic

Ho Jun Lee, 
Have you thought about differential scanning fluorimetry (Thermofluor)? With 
this biophysical technique you can characterize protein-ligand interactions and 
screen a wide variety of ligands using minimal concentration of ligand and 
protein. All you need is a quantitative PCR machine (qPCR). Here is a reference 
for you
