About this facility

COBRE Protein Production Core Facility expresses and purifies properly folded proteins in quantities suitable for structural studies (X-ray and NMR), functional studies (catalytic, biological), binding studies (SPR) and/or HTP screening studies. The AKTA purifier system is designed for high-performance purification and characterization of proteins, peptides and nucleic acids. It is equally at home with routine procedures of any complexity, with scouting and method optimization. The AKTA purifier system offers several key features: a high level of automation and a method wizard minimize preparation, run-time, and repetitive tasks while retaining flexibility for easy manual operation. In addition, the PPG assists investigators in protein characterization by means of 1D/2D electrophoresis, isoelectric focussing, and surface plasmon resonance.
