Mass Photometry

Description Mass photometry, an analytical technology for biomolecular characterization, measures the mass of single particles in solution. The principle behind mass photometry is simple: a single molecule in contact with a measurement surface (e.g. a coverslip), exposed to a beam of light, produces a small but measurable light scattering signal, which is directly proportional to …

BioSAXS

Description BioSAXS is a technique used for structural studies of proteins in their native state. BioSAXS helps identify structural states and changes of biological macromolecules and relate these changes to their functions. In fact, many diseases are related to the misfolding of biological macromolecules. Structure changes can occur as a function of time, pH, ionic …
