The monoclonal antibody to progesterone is immobilized as a narrow detection zone on a porous membrane. The sample is mixed with colloidal gold particles coated with progesterone-protein conjugate, and the mixture is allowed to migrate past the detection zone. Migration is facilitated by capillary forces. The amount of labelled progesterone-protein conjugate bound to the detection zone, as detected by photometric scanning, is inversely proportional to the amount of progesterone present in the sample. Analysis is complete in less than 10 min.

Titration of DNA oligomers with diamagnetic metal ion complexes induces chemical shifts of proton resonances close to the site of interaction. Conformational changes in the helical structure were monitored by measuring cross-peak intensities in 2D NOESY maps. Two duplex deoxynucleotides were studied, [d(CGCGCG)]2 and [d(CGCGAATTCGCG)]2, respectively. The hexamer was titrated in the duplex form with cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]2+ (cis-DDP or cisplatin). The dodecamer was titrated with NO(3-)-salts of Pd(aq)2+, [Pd(en)(H2O)2]2+ and [Pd(dien)(H2O)]+, respectively. The reaction between cis-DDP and the hexamer at conditions where the duplex form is retained proceeded exceedingly slowly. In the initial phase of the titration the NOESY map indicates conformational changes induced by noncovalent adduct formation between the intact hexamer and cis-DDP. The more reactive Pd compounds show a tendency towards sequence-selective binding to the duplex dodecamer. The 'naked' Pd ion is very reactive and exhibits selectivity towards the thymine T8 imino proton and N7 on G4. At a Pd(II)/dodecamer ratio of 4:1 the metal ions induce helix-->coil transition.
