Farfield Group Press Releases

01 Jul 2008 - Farfield is working with Lipid Surfaces using

Dual Polarisation Interferometry (DPI) provides a dynamic biophysical measurement to follow the formation of a lipid bilayer on a surface. This provides a means of defining the lipid bilayer as well as allowing the study of subsequent interactions of peptides and proteins with that bilayer. In this way, DPI reveals a whole new area of lipid-mediated biomolecular interactions.

The Journey of a peptide through a lipid environment

AnaLight® 4D is an excellent tool with which to measure the degree of birefringence in complex systems such as lipid-peptide interactions. It is possible to dissect the various phases and transitions of the interaction of any antimicrobial candidate with the lipid layer as illustrated below.
