Fluorescence Polarisation

Fluorescence polarisation (FP) is ideal to measure the binding of a small molecule to a much larger one.
Unbound fluorescent tracers will depolarise light during emission resulting in low polarisation, because the unbound molecules tumble more rapidly than bound tracers.
In contrast, bound fluorescent labelled molecules keep the polarisation orientation as their rotation is inhibited.
