IEN Vendor Seminar: Biomolecular Interaction Analytics using MicroScale Thermophoresis

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

IEN Vendor Seminar:

Biomolecular Interaction Analytics using MicroScale Thermophoresis

The presentation gives an overview of the Microscale Thermophoresis (MST) technology. MST is a powerful method to quantify biomolecular interactions. It measures the motion of molecules along microscopic temperature gradients, detecting changes in their hydration shell, charge, or size. In combination with high-precision fluorescence detection, MST provides a flexible, robust, and rapid method to measure molecular interactions using miniscule sample quantities. Applications range from small-molecule screening and drug discovery to analyzing interactions of multi-protein complexes. Technical details, technology benefits, and application examples will be described. Assay development, data analysis, and best practices will also be discussed.

Complimentary Lunch Provided with Registration.
