Structural change is the driving force behind biomolecular interactions.
To fully understand protein interactions, it is essential to move beyond the simple measurement of affinity parameters towards an understanding of the impact of binding on the 3-dimensional structure of proteins.
Researchers around the world are now using Farfield Sensors' AnaLight Dual Polarisation Interferometry instrument range to quantitatively measure, in real time, the structural changes in proteins that take place during their interactions.
In turn, this enables AnaLight users to rapidly and continually feed their research pipeline with previously unavailable information about structural change in biomolecules.
