Title: Bruker’s solution for Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)
Speaker: Sven Malik, Senior Application Scientist SPR, Bruker Daltonics SPR, Hamburg, Germany

Abstract:
Learn how SPR instruments empower scientists with many tools or ways to perform their work. The systems use a valve-less microfluidic system enabling fast transitions from sample to buffer, state-of-the-art sensitivity, and robustness to allow for the analysis of all types of samples, from ions to crude samples. High flexibility in assay development is ensured by individual sensor spot-addressing options.

Title: timsTOF MALDI PharmaPulse^®: Reaching a New Level of Unbiased, Deep HTS by Label-Free Mass Spectrometry
Speaker: Arndt Asperger, Ph.D., Senior Applications Scientist, High Throughput Screening MALDI Mass Spectrometry, Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany

Abstract:
In this tutorial, we provide insights to timsTOF MPP´s unique capabilities, i.e. accurate mass analysis at isotopic fidelity, ultrafast separation by trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS), reproducible measurement of collisional cross-section (CCS) values, contribute to enhanced lead quality in (u)HTS in early drug discovery and accelerate HTE chemical synthesis monitoring in medchem/drug molecule design. Discover what’s new with MPP 2023 software and experience seamless timsTOF MPP integration in fully automated HTS environments that provides support for a variety of high-throughput application workflows such as mechanistic (u)HTS assays, ASMS for screening of protein-ligand interactions, compound library validation and HTE synthesis monitoring.

Title: The Fast Track to Thermodynamics: Multiplexed Profiling with High Throughput Surface Plasmon Resonance
Speaker: Cyrill Brunner, Ph.D., Application Specialist, Bruker Switzerland, Fällanden, Switzerland

Abstract:
SPR is an established and widely used biophysical technology in screening and lead development campaigns for novel drug candidates. The real-time, label-free analysis of interactions offers additional insights into kinetics. Besides the value of a kinetic profile, the thermodynamic profile of potential lead candidate is equally important as it may give hints in steering the subsequent medicinal chemistry efforts to a more successful lead.

The thermodynamic profile of lead candidates is commonly determined with Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC). This solution-based system is notoriously known for its low throughput of maximally a few dozen compounds per day and a high protein consumption, especially for weak binders such as lead candidates. Hence, ITC-measurements are often performed at a later stage in lead development with small numbers of molecules, thus, preventing insight into earlier candidates. 

We investigated the applicability of the multiplexing SPR Pro series for thermodynamic profiling of small molecules against proteins. Three different assay modes for a model case with a set of compounds against a single protein were analyzed first and the assay modes compared with respect to comparability and reproducibility. Subsequently, the thermodynamic profile of a set of eight compounds against three different proteins was determined in a single assay set-up. This information aided in understanding the underlying selectivity and affinity profile of the compound set in an automated approach with a single experiment. Consequently, the thermodynamic profile could be analyzed faster and at a substantially lower sample consumption of only 20-50 ug protein.

We herewith present an automated and high-throughput optimized approach for thermodynamic profiling of an interaction by SPR. Thus, the extension of typical parameters from a SPR experiment by a thermodynamic profile allows for a better understanding in lead development at an earlier stage than currently feasible.

The Bruker Arxspan Suite is an integrated, highly scalable solution that supports both small molecule and biologics workflows, among others.

The user-friendly, cloud-based module enables scientists to automatically capture, analyze, centralize and share device data and results. The centralizing of data creates a reference database of analytical results for synthesized compounds and impurities.

The module can be used with any lab instrument but is particularly suited to instruments that generate significant amounts of data. For example, NMR and Mass Spectrometers, SPR and QC data.
