The Melbourne Protein Characterisation platform offers technology for identifying the characteristics of individual proteins, including their size, structure and physiochemical properties.
The platform supports protein discovery research across a range of experiments and procedures. These include experiments to understand function and behaviour of molecular interaction and structural analyses.
We offer training and advice, and can help researchers with:
- Peptide synthesis and protein production (for insect and mammal cells)
- Studying molecular binding and interactions
- Analysing oligomerisation and association states
- Determining protein size, shape and secondary structure
- Studying heterogeneity and aggregation
- Analysing fluorescence and UV absorbance
- Detecting small molecule binding
- Analysing X-ray diffraction-based structure for small molecules and proteins.
