Protein Interaction Facility
Main
The Protein Interaction Facility provides easy access to advanced technologies used in characterizing binding interactions. Currently BIACORE 3000, 2000 and S51 optical biosensors are used to define the assembly state, affinity, and kinetics of an interaction. The advantage of optical biosensors is that they allow real-time analysis of molecular interactions without labeling requirements. This makes the technology applicable to the study of a wide variety of biological molecules including proteins, oligonucleotides, oligosaccharides and lipids.
