Circular Dichroism

Specifications

Chirascan-plus can monitor absorbance and fluorescence (including anisotropy) in static or kinetic mode through an online stopped-flow module. The study of macromolecules by circular dichroism allows the analysis of their structure. For proteins, the measurement of the far-UV circular dichroism (190-260 nm) contains information on their secondary structure and the data processing by appropriate software allows an estimation of both the quantity of the different structures and their content in secondary structure in percentage. Thermal denaturation monitoring is possible thanks to a Peltier temperature control system. Dichroic signals in the near UV (250-330 nm) provide information on the environment of aromatic amino acids allowing the study of the effect of the environment on the structure of a molecule (pH, denaturation by detergents, temperature, ligand effect, molecular interactions ..). Kinetic studies can be performed with the stopped-flow accessory.
