Agile BioScience: Probing Protein Structure with FT-IR Spectroscopy
Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR)
Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for analyzing the secondary structure of proteins, providing both qualitative and quantitative insights. Agile BioScience employs FTIR to empower your biopharmaceutical characterization.
Why FT-IR for Protein Structure Matters
-
Reveals Secondary Structure Elements: FTIR spectra contain specific absorption bands corresponding to alpha-helices, beta-sheets, turns, and disordered regions.
-
Quantification of Structural Content: With careful analysis, FTIR can estimate the relative proportions of different secondary structure elements within your protein.
-
Monitors Structural Changes: Detects variations in structure due to formulation changes, process modifications, or degradation pathways.
Our Approach
-
Advanced Instrumentation: We utilize state-of-the-art FTIR spectrometers for high-quality, reproducible measurements.
-
In order to measure a small amount of sample concentration We also used a highly sensitive, pentagonal prism multi-reflection ATR
-
Expert Data Interpretation: We analyze FTIR spectra to provide both qualitative and quantitative insights into your protein's secondary structure.
Benefits of Choosing Agile BioScience
