Molecular Interactions Facility

The UCL Molecular Interactions Facility has its own on-site instrumentation in terms of two analytical ultracentrifuges (AUC), surface plasmon resonance (Biacore X100) and dual polarisation interferometry (DPI), plus protein purification facilities.

Analytical Ultracentrifugation

Analytical Ultracentrifugation Facility

The availability of two AUC instruments in the lab makes possible simultaneous velocity and equilibrium experiments so that protein associative behaviour in solution can be explored in detail. We also possess Biacore surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and dual polarisation interferometry (DPI) equipment

Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry

UCL's range of Mass Spectrometry facilities ensures researchers have timely access to equipment, resources and the expertise necessary to undertake world-leading research.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Researchers have access to three Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Laboratories at UCL. The spectrometers are at 400 MHz, 500 MHz additionally equipped with a cryoprobe and a multichannel 500, 600, 700 and 800 MHz NMR spectrometer. 

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a physical technique used to determine the thermodynamic parameters of interactions in solution.
