Circular Dichroism (CD) Spectropolarimeter

Circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimetry enables the determination of protein folding (secondary and tertiary structure), the study of conformational stability of a protein and determination of whether protein-protein interactions alter the conformation of a protein.

The J-815 CD spectropolarimeter from Jasco represents the highest performance attainable in a CD system combining unparalleled optical throughput and an updated 32 bit software for control and analysis. This system will be used to study lipoprotein-like nanoparticles and recombinant protein ligands.
