Abstract: The present invention relates to the measurement of interactions,
and especially biospecific interactions in an assay using mass spectrometry.
More in particular, the present invention makes it possible to measure specific
interactions in a homogeneous biochemical assay. The on-line detection
method of the present invention comprises contacting an effluent of a
fractionation step with a controlled amount of affinity molecules, which
affinity molecules bind with analytes suspected to be present in the effluent.
This step is followed by the addition of a controlled amount of known ligands,
which ligands bind to the affinity molecules, by which ligand/affinity molecule-complexes
are formed. In accordance with the invention, the free ligands are
detected in the presence of the ligand/affinity molecule-complexes, using a
mass spectrometer.
