Main Activity

The core facility provides services leading to structure characterization of biomolecules and to study (bio)molecular interactions in a real time using mainly biosensor and calorimetry-based methods. 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), and to study thermodynamics and/or kinetics of interactions (isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, CD spectroscopy, analytical ultracentrifugation).

Unique Features

  • Set-up of crystallization screens using commercial-available kits
  • Automatic inspection of crystals  - remote access to results for users
  • UV imaging to distinguish a protein from a salt
  • Set-up of optimization screens
  • Estimation of the precipitation diagram
  • Production of crystals for structural determination
  • Quality improvement of crystals for structural determination
  • Isothermal titration microcalorimetry
