Cell & Molecular Biology

Understanding the constituents and processes that are the base of living organisms requires sensitive analytical methods. QCM-D enables label-free real-time measurements of events such as binding of proteins to functionalized surfaces, molecular interactions and conformational changes of structures.

Application areas within the field are listed below followed by relevant application notes.

Biomolecular interactions

Antibody-Antigen Interactions, Enzyme-Protein Interactions,  DNA Hybridisation,
Lipid membranes

Lipid Bilayer Formation, Functionalised Lipid Bilayer, QCM-D and EIS on Lipid Bilayers
Protein conformation

Structural Change of Proteins, Protein Fibrillation, Conformational Effects on Protein-DNA
Cell attachment

QCM-D and Microscopy Monitoring of Cell Adhesion
Bacteria
