Democratising single-molecule biophysics

Dr Tim Craggs

Single molecule spectroscopy is a powerful technique that could lead to new discoveries in biophysics, life sciences, drug development and diagnostics. We set out to democratise this cutting-edge approach, and bring it to the widest possible user base. Ultimately we hope to make our instrument a standard tool in every biophysics lab.

Applications

  • Protein conformational landscapes

    Easily explore the full range of protein conformations present in solution and changes to their distribution induced by molecular interactions.

  • Verifying protein structure

    Verify that the static protein structures obtained from crystallography, cryoEM or AlphaFold are the major species present in the solution.

  • Binding and diffusion

    Investigate the binding and disassociation of biomolecular complexes, including protein-protein interactions, ligand-receptor binding (GPCRs) and Extracellular Vesicles (EVs).
