The ProteOn XPR36 Protein Interaction Array System is a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical biosensor that provides data on the affinity, specificity, and kinetics of biomolecular interactions in real-time and label-free environment. The system generates a 6 x 6 interaction array for the simultaneous analysis of up to six ligands with up to six analytes which enables analysis up to 36 different kinetic interactions in a single run, on a single chip. While one of the interactants is immobilized to the sensor surface, the other are free in solution and passed over the surface. Association and dissociation is measured in arbitrary units and displayed in a graph called the sensogram. Biomolecular Interaction Analysis is not limited to proteins. Interactions between DNA - DNA, DNA - protein, lipid - protein and hybrid systems of biomolecules and non-biological surfaces can be investigated.
Biomolecular Interaction Analysis can be used in a number of ways.
- To identify the binding of two or more interactants to each other
- To determine the affinity of the interactions
- To measure the actual association and dissociation rates
- To quantify the concentration of one of the interactants
