Don't be fooled by our name, we do more than just proteins...
Our biophysical characterization techniques have applications to small peptides, nucleic acids (e.g. anti-sense therapeutics, aptamers, ribozymes), small molecule drugs, carbohydrates, vaccines, viruses, drug-polymer conjugates, and more. We have done work in areas such as:
 | characterizing conformation and aggregation of peptides and PEGylated peptides |
| characterizing aggregates in RNA |
| using CD to show that small molecules bind to protein targets |
| characterizing heterogeneity and aggregation in viral vectors used for gene therapy |
| characterizing heterogeneity and aggregation in polymers used in surgical applications |
| characterizing conformation and aggregation in conjugates of small molecules with polymers |
| characterizing aggregation of conjugated nucleic acids |
| characterizing size distributions of carbon-based nanoparticles |
| characterizing size distributions lipid-carbohydrate conjugates |
