CD-Spectroscopy

Within the IFSC (Interfacial System Chemistry) Project, we have acquired the latest Circular Dichroism Spectrometer release of Jasco, i.e. J-815, equipped with several accessories, e.g. Peltier temperature control system, the Bio-Logic SFM 300 stopped flow CD/fluorescence., the powder/surface CD attachment. The system can simultaneously acquire up to four signals (two internal and two external) including CD, Absorbance, Voltage, ORD. Thus, the system can be used for a wide range of applications, some of them being already the focus of our research projects:

Protein conformations (secondary and tertiary structures)
Protein folding, stability and interactions (thermodynamics and kinetics)
DNA/RNA interactions
Enzyme kinetics
Powder measurements
CD-Stoppedflow experiments
