Does anyone have thoughts on how to characterize binding affinity of designed binders on the cheap? I was thinking maybe florescently labeled condensates could be used by checking the condensation transition and comparing it to known binders, but this conflates a lot of variables together so I'm not sure if that's a workable idea.
