Biomolecular interactions by Surface Plasmon Resonance technology.
The Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technique makes it possible to measure biomolecular interactions in real-time with a high degree of sensitivity and without the need of label. The information obtained is both qualitative and quantitative and it is possible to obtain the kinetic parameters of the interaction. This new technology has been used to study a diverse set of interaction partners of biological interest, such as protein-protein, protein-lipids, protein- nucleic acids or protein and low molecular weight molecules such as drugs, substrates and cofactors. In addition to basic biomedical research, the SPR biosensor has recently been used in food analysis, proteomics, immunogenicity and drug discovery.
