Biopolymer Characterization Core Seminar

*********************************
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

Summaries

Summary Sentence: Isothermal Titration Calorimeters & Differential Scanning Calorimeters

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

This presentation will cover the principles of operation and theory of the methods; experimental design and sample requirements; examples of applications in the study of binding interactions of biological molecules and their thermal stability.  Light refreshments served. RSVP by 02/13/2020 to ernie.fox@malvern.com 

Test for binding affinity with ITC or thermal stability with DSC 

  • No label needed 
  • Done directly in solution 
  • Information you get from ITC: KD , stoichiometry...
  • Information you get from DSC: Tm ...

Some of the sample types that can be tested on the MicroCal PEAQ ITC and DSC: 

ITC 

  • Protein, protein interactions 
  • Protein, small molecule interaction 
  • Protein, DNA and RNA interaction 
  • Nanoparticles, protein interaction 
  • Nanoparticles, DNA/ RNA interaction 
  • And more… 

DSC 

  • Protein 
  • Nucleic acids 
  • Liposomes 
  • Virus or VLP 
  • And more…
