Abstract:
A method of detecting an interaction between two components of a biochemical system, comprising:moving a first labeled component of the biochemical system through a first channel region; moving a second component of the biochemical system through the first channel region to mix with the first component within the first channel region, whereupon the first and second components interact in a continuously flowing mixture to produce a labeled product, which labeled product has a mobility through the first channel region which is substantially equal to a mobility of the first labeled component through the first channel region; moving the labeled product through a second channel region connected to the first channel region, the labeled product having a mobility through the second channel region which is different from a mobility of the first labeled component through the second channel region; and detecting an amount of interaction between the first and second components by detecting an amount of labeled product in thy second channel region.
