Probing proteins in a flash

Technique offers faster timescales, consumes less sample

Gary Boas

Protein dynamics can reveal much about the structure and function of a protein. But the techniques used to study them are often limited, requiring a significant amount of sample or offering insufficient temporal resolution. As a result, the functional dynamics of many proteins remain poorly characterized. In an Analytical Chemistry paper published online Nov. 11, researchers with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., reported a technique called microfluidic flow-flash that addresses...Read full article

    microfluidics
    Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the manipulation and control of very small fluid volumes, typically in the microliter (10-6 liters) to picoliter (10-12 liters) range, within channels or devices with dimensions on the microscale. It integrates principles from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biotechnology to design and fabricate systems that handle and analyze fluids at the micro level. Key features and aspects of microfluidics include: Miniaturization:...
