Bio-layer
interferometry is a label-free, real-time, and high-throughput technique used
for studying biomolecular interactions. It leverages the principle of bio-layer
interferometry, where light waves interfere with each other to create an optical
signal. In the case of BLI, a biosensor tip is coated with a biorecognition
molecule, such as a protein or a DNA probe. The biosensor tip is then placed in
a sample containing the target analyte, and changes in the optical signal are
measured as the analyte binds to the biorecognition molecule. It allows
researchers to measure the binding kinetics and affinities of a variety of
biomolecular interactions, including protein-protein, protein-small molecule,
protein-DNA, and protein-lipid interactions.
With
the BLI platform, CD BioSciences can provide testing services for a variety of
biomolecular and comprehensive analysis services. From the detection of
protein, nucleic acid, and antibody to protein-DNA interactionsand many other molecular
interaction assays, their BLI technology solutions can cover research needs in
the field of drug discovery and development.
CD
BioSciences’ BLI platform offers several advantages over traditional BIA
techniques, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration
calorimetry (ITC). This platform is able to measure biomolecular interactions
in real time, enabling researchers to study complex binding mechanisms and
determine the rate constants of association and dissociation. Additionally, BLI
requires relatively low sample volumes, making it suitable for studying
precious or limited samples. Moreover, the BLI platform also offers flexibility
in experimental design. It allows for multiplexing, where several analytes or
reference compounds can be immobilized on different biosensor tips and measured
simultaneously. This enables high-throughput screening of compound libraries or
the simultaneous analysis of multiple interactions in complex biological
systems.
“With
the launch of ourbio-layer interferometry platform, we aim to help our
clients accelerate their drug discovery and development processes,” said a
spokesperson for CD BioSciences. “By providing them with access to advanced
technology and expertise, we enable them to make informed decisions and bring
their drug candidates to market faster.”
With
the increasing prevalence of neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis, the need for comprehensive and precise
analysis methods has become more urgent than ever. CD BioSciences has risen to
this challenge by employing advanced biophysical analysis tools, enabling
scientists to delve into the complexity of neural mechanisms with superior
accuracy and depth.
Through
strategic partnerships with top-tier research institutions and the dedication
of its team, CD BioSciences has developed an impressive suite of biophysical
platforms tailored specifically to neuroscience research. By integrating
innovative technologies with cutting-edge algorithms, they have unlocked new
perspectives and avenues for exploration, driving notable progress in the
field.
One
of CD BioSciences’ most significant techniques is its whole-brain imaging based on biophysical
technology.
By utilizing state-of-the-art microscopy technologies, researchers are now able
to visualize and analyze neuronal connections at an unprecedented resolution,
which not only deepens the understanding of neural circuits but also offers new
opportunities for the development of targeted therapeutic interventions.
Furthermore,
CD BioSciences’ biophysical analysis methods have been pivotal in uncovering
the underlying biological mechanisms behind various neurological disorders.
Through the application of its proprietary software algorithms, the company can
help researchers determine the molecular interactions, structural changes, and
protein dynamics associated with these disorders.
