Visualizing Molecular Interactions without Labels

Researchers use label-free surface plasmon resonance to measure affinity and binding kinetics in real time. 

Share

Scientists involved in basic research and drug discovery commonly characterize interactions between molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and organic compounds. However, there are multiple techniques that they can use. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a label-free optical method, which researchers have employed over the last three decades to assess affinity and binding kinetics in real time during antibody and drug screening.
