Biacore systems can monitor almost any molecular interaction as long as one of the interaction partners can be immobilized on a sensor surface.

Protein interactions

	•		Investigate interactions with small peptides through to multiple sub-unit protein complexes.
	•		Study native, recombinant, synthetic or tagged recombinant molecules.
	•		Discover new interaction partners in body fluids, cell culture supernatants or crude extracts.

Small molecules

•

Study the interaction of small molecules, such as drug candidates, with their targets.

•

Study membrane biochemistry or membrane-bound receptor interactions using native membranes, artificial membranes or vesicles.

	•		Investigate replication, transcription and translation.
	•		Determine molecular relationships during the formation of protein complexes and their interaction with DNA.
	•		Study hybridization of DNA and RNA.

•

Study interactions involving whole cells or viruses.

	•		Study the effects of glycosylation on molecular interactions.
	•		Determine specific recognition properties of cell surface carbohydrates.
