The present invention relates to compositions and methods for screening,
identifying, or selecting active compounds against a target protein using
peptides derived from said target protein's active site(s) and functional
antibodies active on said target protein active site(s). The invention
also relates to the use of these peptides and functional antibodies for
screening, identifying or selecting biologically active compounds. The
invention also concerns a kit for implementing the above methods. The
target protein is preferably a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), and the
invention can be used to identify compounds that are suitable for use in
various areas, such as the pharmaceutical, agri-food and cosmetic
industries.
