Surface plasmon resonance facility for biochemistry and pharmacology

既然人类和其他基因组的DNA序列已经确定，就有必要了解编码的各个基因产物如何相互作用，以产生生物系统的复杂性特征。表面等离子体共振是一种允许定量评估生物分子如蛋白质和核酸之间的相互作用并允许深入了解这些相互作用如何调节生物过程的技术。BIACORE T100仪器将成为这项前沿研究的有力工具，不仅将支持七名申请人，还将支持生物和物理科学学院的其他团体。

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.
