FT-IR Spectroscopy of Biologics

BioIR™ is a family of dedicated solutions for the biopharmaceutical industry based on FT-IR instrumentation and comprised of specialized software and databases. The first such system, PROTA™, was introduced in 1998 and has since rapidly become the industry’s preferred choice. PROTA™ provides a fast, cost-effective and sensitive way to determine secondary structure of a protein or to follow structural changes due to perturbations. This turnkey system is designed to be used by both spectroscopists and non-spectroscopists. It’s user-friendly, intuitive software guides users through data acquisition and analysis. PROTA™ includes all of the functions, in one integrated package, required to link IR spectral data and protein structure.

Applications

  • Formulation studies (liquids and solids) - effects of excipients, pH and buffers
  • Determination of secondary structures of de novo proteins
  • Conformational stability and dynamics
  • Structure in aggregates
  • Mutation studies
  • Structural characterization upon environmental effects
  • Stability studies (thermal and chemical)
  • Drug delivery
  • Protein-protein, protein-DNA/RNA and protein-drug interactions
  • Crystallization condition screening
