Farfield
is delighted to have won another prestigious SBRI
award from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences
Research Council (BBSRC) (www.bbsrc.ac.uk/) which
will enable us to launch a new structure-function
workstation for macromolecular assemblies.
This work will extend Farfield's existing AnaLight®
product range (www.farfield-sensors.com/products.htm)
to enable a better understanding of the intimate link
between the structure and function of protein-carbohydrate
macromolecular complexes, an area of much current
research activity.
This work conducted under the SBRI award will be a
collaboration between Farfield and four members of
ProteoGlycans North West (PGsNOW), a grouping of 17
expert laboratories in the North West of England and
builds upon a highly successful project to develop
"close to in vivo" biomimetic membranes
recently completed under an earlier SBRI award (www.farfield-sensors.com/news_31.htm).
Dual Polarisation Interferometry (DPI) is an analytical
technique used to understand the real-time structure
and behaviour of a wide range of molecular systems
and interactions through quantitative measurement.
DPI has been successful across a range of applications,
including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, lectins,
surfactants, polymers, interfacial studies, surface
characterisation and nanotechnology. For further applications
