Biophysics Core Facility

Overview of Services

The Biophysics Core Facility is a resource laboratory in the Biophysics and Biochemistry Center. The scientific mission of the Facility is to develop and optimize methods to study macromolecular interactions, dynamics and stability. Our Facility provides professional collaborations, consultation, training, and instrument access for NHLBI researchers.

The Biophysics Facility currently has resources to study oligomeric state of biomolecular assemblies, perform measurements of affinity, stoichiometry, kinetics and thermodynamics of interactions between proteins, DNA and their cognate ligands. Biophysical characterization capabilities include measurements of molecular weight, shape, and conformation of biological macromolecules.
