Partner institution: 3:MasarykUniversity-CEITEC
Core facility: Biomolecular Interactions and Crystallization
Category of instrument / technology: Characterization
Web category: 2 : characterisation
Instrument name: ProteomLab XL-I
Description EN:
ProteomeLab XL-I analytical ultracentrifuge is equipped with absorbance (wavelength range 190 – 800 nm) and interference optics and can be used for both sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium experiments. Analytical ultracentrifugation is applicable for proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides, viruses and nanoparticles. It has a broad applicability including determination of sample homogeneity, oligomeric state of proteins (or molecular weight, respectively) and can be used to assess aggregation of sample and to study biomolecular interactions of self- and hetero-association systems (determination of stoichiometry and affinity).
Part of research platform:
The core facility provides services leading to biophysical and structure characterization of biomolecules and to study (bio)molecular interactions.  It is equipped with the instrumentation to set up crystallization conditions of biomolecules and their complexes, basic characterization of physical properties of the molecules (analytical ultracentrifugation, dynamic light scattering, CD spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, differential scanning fluorimetry), and to study thermodynamics and/or kinetics of interactions (isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, microscale thermophoresis, CD spectroscopy, analytical ultracentrifugation).
