  "term": "Equilibrium assay",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of biochemical assay designed to measure the concentrations of reactants and products after a system has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. This method provides information about the affinity or binding strength between molecules, such as a ligand and its receptor. It contrasts with kinetic assays, which measure reaction rates over time.",
