Molecular Biophysics

We are highly experienced in the following techniques:

  • Direct information about of macromolecule mass, stoichiometry and interactions in solution
  • Quality control of biopharmaceuticals (protein aggregates’ profile)
  • Experimental analysis of biomolecule shape/conformation in solution
  • Analysis of biomolecule thermostability and thermodynamics of biomolecular interactions

Equipment

Beckman ProteomeLab XLA-XLI analytical ultracentrifuge (equipped with absorbance and interference detection)

  •   Microcal VC-ITC
  •   Microcal VC-DSC

  Sciex 6600 QToF Mass Spectrometer (intact protein)

We also have access to instruments which complement our expertise in the following techniques:

  •   Surface plasmon resonance (Biacore S-200)
  •   Small-angle X-ray scattering instruments (Diamond synchrotron)
  •   Small angle neutron scattering (RAL)
  •   Fourrier-transform infra-red spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer)
  •   Circular dichroism spectroscopy
