In this episode of the Bruker Biosensors DISCOVER MOLECULAR INTERACTIONS webinar series we showcase how SPR can be used to perform a thermodynamic profiling and determine activation energies. Thermodynamic properties can have profound effects on a drug’s clinical efficacy.
In this webinar you will learn how SPR cannot only be applied to detect the binding of small molecules to their target proteins, but to determine the thermodynamic profile of the interaction.
This webinar is part of the webinar series DISCOVER MOLECULAR INTERACTIONS by Bruker Biosensors. In this episode, Dr. Cyrill Brunner will explain how Surface Plasmon Resonance can be used to perform a thermodynamic profiling and determine activation energies.
Thermodynamic properties can have profound effects on a drug’s clinical efficacy. Their assessment using SPR is demonstrated using 8 different compounds binding to 2 different proteins in a multiplexing assay. Results are compared with isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Furthermore, it is discussed how thermodynamics obtained using SPR can give additional information on the binding mode and selectivity of small molecules.
