An agonist can be added to a quiet system and the response measured. A binding protein added to a quiet system does nothing measurable, because there is nothing for it to remove.
Assays for this class are therefore built around the target: the signal the target produces is established first, and the antagonist is detected by the reduction of it. The reference condition is the system with an active target and no antagonist.
Response-element reporters are the common readout, because they turn a signalling event into a number. The limit is that a reporter reports transcriptional output and not binding, so a fall can have causes other than sequestration — toxicity among them.
A viability measurement alongside the reporter is what distinguishes reduced signalling from reduced cell number, since both lower the reporter output.
If a binding protein produces no effect, the explanation may be the protein, or it may be that its targets were not present in that system to begin with. Those two possibilities look identical in the data unless the target was measured.
That ambiguity is a property of this class of molecule rather than of any particular batch.
