Surface plasmon resonance facility for biochemistry and pharmacology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Now that the DNA sequence of the human and other genomes has been determined it is necessary to understand how the individual gene products encoded interact with each to generate the complexity characteristic of biological systems. Surface plasmon resonance is a technique that allows interactions between biological molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids to be assessed quantitatively and allows insights into how these interactions regulate biological processes. The BIACORE T100 instrument will be a powerful tool for this cutting edge research and will support not only the seven applicants but other groups in the Schools of Biological and Physical Sciences.
