Thiol Coupling: An Alternative Protein Immobilization Strategy on the Corning® Epic® System
10 Aug 2010: This application demonstrates that the Corning® Epic® System enables label-free direct biochemical assay for small molecules and protein-protein binding to an immobilized target. This method offers an alternative approach to investigate difficult protein targets, including those with low pI values, for label-free biochemical binding assays.
