Determine binding affinity and stoichiometry of protein interactions in complex backgrounds

October 30, 2020Newslettersatascientific

What’s Microfluidic Diffusional Sizing & what makes it so unique? 

The Fluidity One-W with Microfluidic Diffusional Sizing (MDS) offers new way to study protein–protein interactions. •    Study proteins in complex backgrounds — like cell lysates or blood plasma. Means minimal sample preparation is required. •    No surfaces required — Meaning there is no surface artefacts so you can study proteins in near native state. •    Stoichiometric analysis — When used in combination with protein modelling software hydrodynamic radius (Rh) can be used to calculate the stochiometry of complexes. If you’re interested, we’d love to offer you a demonstration, so you can see it’s full capabilities in action. Contact us using the link below. CONTACT US FOR A DEMO TODAY!     Accurate solution phase affinity profiling of a SARS-CoV-2 antibody in serum   Here we show how MDS on the Fluidity One-W Serum we can accurately detect and characterise the binding affinity of antibodies to virus proteins directly in human serum, to support the development of reliable antibody tests and vaccines in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. WATCH NOW   All antibodies are NOT created equal: Comprehensive profiling of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies   This talk outlines our efforts in assessing the immune response in COVID-19 patients by use of MDS.

QCM-D Used to Study Virus Interactions and to Gain Insights Useful in Drug Development

October 26, 2020Newslettersatascientific

QSense QCM-D is a surface-sensitive technology which has been used to analyse biomolecular interactions for two decades.   By monitoring mass, thickness and viscoelastic properties of surface adhering layers, this method can detect and monitor adsorption, molecular binding, and structural changes such as crosslinking in real-time. QCM-D has shed light on several different viruses (e.g. Norovirus, Poxvirus, Rotavirus, Herpesvirus, Ebola, Hepatitis C and Zika virus) and aspects of virus behaviour with the aim to develop antiviral therapies. Below we show examples of research where QCM-D has been used to study viruses. CONTACT US FOR A FREE DEMO     Webinars on Demand   How do we stop the next pandemic from an unknown virus?

Accelerate Catalyst Development using & Micromeritics Surface Area Porosity Analysers

October 16, 2020Newslettersatascientific

The investigation of the exposed active surface of a catalyst is generally performed by chemisorption in isothermal conditions while bulk reactivity tests need a temperature increase. Chemisorption under isothermal conditions can be performed by static manometric or dynamic flow techniques, each of these methods provides different piece of information. Temperature programmed methods like TPRe and TPD need a specific dynamic technique. In this webinar, attendees will learn more about: – Chemisorption parameters and typical results in isothermal conditions – Features of static manometric and dynamic techniques – Temperature programmed reduction, oxidation and desorption procedures and results – How to measure the activation energy for desorption – Use of TPR in choosing the best sample activation parameters
