Development Of A Yeast Biosensor Strain For The Identification Of Genotoxic Compounds, Robin M. Reed Jan 2002

Development Of A Yeast Biosensor Strain For The Identification Of Genotoxic Compounds, Robin M. Reed

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

Advances in combinatorial chemistry have provided the pharmaceutical industry with innumerable lead compounds that could potentially serve as therapeutic agents. One of the challenges in the further development of such compounds is to rapidly, yet inexpensively, distinguish those that have undesirable effects such as genotoxicity. Thus, a simple biological assay that would permit the identification of potential DNA mutagens, and be adaptable to high-throughput technologies would be cost effective in screening such lead compounds. The current methods use the Ames and SOS tests involving prokaryotic organisms, while systems that utilize mammalian cell culture and/or animal testing are time-consuming and expensive. …
