Looking for quick, easy and affordable protein concentration analysis? Benchtop SPR can help. In our application note, we demonstrate how OpenSPR™ can be used as a concentration assay for determining the level of α-lactalbumin, an important protein in milk.
Dr. Brown, a researcher at Lehigh University, uses OpenSPR’s surface plasmon resonance technology to get the key binding data needed for their recent publication on protein-peptide interaction, demonstrating the possibility of using target-based peptides to inhibit leukotoxin mediated cytotoxicity in human white blood cells.
Dr. Roth, a researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina, uses OpenSPR’s surface plasmon resonance technology to get the key binding data needed for their recent publication on protein-protein interaction, helping them discover a direct link between telomere damage–dependent senescence and apoptosis with regards to aging and cancer.
Currently, the four most used techniques are Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC), Microscale Thermophoresis (MST), and Biolayer Interferometry (BLI). Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. Read our SPR, ITC, MST & BLI comparison and take a 5 minute quiz to determine the optimal technique for your research.
Dr. Piazza, PhD graduate from the University of Waterloo, uses both NMR & OpenSPR’s surface plasmon resonance technology to get the key binding data needed for his recent publication on protein-peptide interaction.
As the fiscal year end quickly approaches, we understand how hard it is to juggle purchasing lab equipment and chemical reagents, while trying to meet publication deadlines. Read “8 Ways to Make the Most of Your Leftover Funding” to see how you can spend your leftover funding to accelerate your research with OpenSPR & publish within 3 months.
Dr. Lu, a researcher at Sichuan University, uses OpenSPR’s surface plasmon resonance technology to get the key binding data needed for their recent publication on protein-protein interaction, helping them discover a new strategy for tumor-targeted delivery of anticancer agents.
Are you missing quantitative binding data data in your publication? Dr. Rossi, a collaborative researcher at the University of Virginia, uses OpenSPR’s surface plasmon resonance technology to provide her with the key binding data needed for her recent publication on protein-protein interaction in muscular dystrophy.
Meet SPR Expert: Dr. George Espie. Dr. Espie is a Professor of Biology at the University of Toronto Mississauga & Graduate Program Cell & Systems Biology at the University of Toronto. When he isn’t lecturing, you can find him in his lab working on innovative protein-protein research. With over 23 publications we interviewed Dr. Espie […]
Dr. Dieckmann, Mike Piazza and Dr. Guillemette from the University of Waterloo published a paper that uses OpenSPR to study the structure and function of the protein calmodulin (CaM). CaM is a small protein important for many physiological and pathological processes, and serves as a calcium sensor and control element for nitric oxide synthases (NOS). […]
