Efficient sex hormone biosensors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to evaluate human aromatase activity and inhibition by Jie Wu, Matthias Bureik, Mario Andrea Marchisio

“…Besides, we set up an aromatase-inhibitors evaluation assay to measure the IC50 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration) of candidate inhibitory compounds and developed a screening assay for enzymes that metabolize β-estradiol that demands only to measure fluorescence. These two assays allow the screening of a large number of chemicals and proteins in a fast and economic fashion. …”
