CCAM's Biacore
Concentrations of specific molecular species and kinetic constants for molecular interactions are critical to quantitative knowledge of biological systems. These values can be analyzed in vitro using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) techniques with BIACORE equipment to measure binding of a soluble molecule to its immobilized ligand. These methods allow for high resolution analysis of binding kinetics of molecular interactions. They have been used to study such interactions as RNA-protein, steroid-receptor and substrate- lipid metabolism enzymes.
