Surface tension measurements, binding of drugs, peptides and proteins to lipid membranes and many other applications

Biomembranes, membrane ‘rafts’, lipids, and membrane proteins are entering into the forefront of biosciences. Use of monolayers has paved way to breakthroughs in the molecular mechanisms of action of phospholipases, lung surfactant, cellular signaling, antibiotic peptides, blood coagulation, and cell adhesion, just to name a few examples.

The Kibron DeltaPi and DeltaPi-4 are ideal for the following applications:

• monitoring enzyme action on monolayers  

• 2-D crystallization of proteins

• measuring interactions of drugs, peptides and proteins with lipid monolayers

• complex formation by nucleic acids and cationic lipids

A large amount of experiments can be
be made with Kibron DeltaPi/DeltaPi-4.
