Expert insights

Dr. Patrick England, Head of Molecular Biophysics at Institut Pasteur, Paris

Detecting and quantifying biomolecular interactions is critical in therapeutics development and life sciences research. Choosing a biosensor platform to suit your application and workflow requires careful consideration of key attributes such as throughput, sample capacity, unattended runtimes, affinity ranges, sensitivity, type of sample matrix and ease of use.

In this webinar, Dr. Patrick England, Head of Molecular Biophysics at Institut Pasteur, Paris, will highlight how using bio-layer interferometry (BLI) based Octet® systems can provide a fast and straightforward means to accurately determine binding specificity, affinity, and kinetics, and will outline how to optimize the use of these systems from a quantitative and qualitative standpoint.

Dr. England will discuss how the Octet®RED384 system has proved to be one of the most popular systems to characterize biomolecular interactions since its installation in Institut Pasteur and will provide guidance on how to effectively manage its use for the maximum benefit of a large and diverse scientific community.

Compound LibrariesCompound libraries, or chemical libraries, are used in drug discovery for the identification of potential therapeutics compounds. Used in conjunction with high-throughput screening, the libraries of stored compounds are often generated for specific purposes as a drug target or disease model. Cheminformatics are commonly used when designing a compound library and software can be used to analyze the screening process.  Protein QuantificationThe detection and quantification of proteins in a sample is vital across life sciences, pharmaceutical research and clinical diagnostics, and a variety of equipment is available to scientists to simplify the workflow. Proteins of interest can be easily labeled and detected on light-based detection instruments. Immunoassay kits allow you to identify a specific protein of interest and protein detection beads or antibody microarrays allow you to identify multiple specific proteins at once. Protein interactions and enzyme activity can also be monitored with protein-protein interaction assays. Additionally, the biophysical characterization of proteins is made easy with biokinetic analyzers.
