About

Integrated Structural Biology Shared Resource

Overview of Services

This facility serves the needs of SKCC research programs in crystallization, X-ray data collection, structure determination, refinement and structural analysis of macromolecules. The facility has HydraIIPlusOne and Oryx8 crystallization robots for high-throughput crystallization screening and maintains Rigaku MicroMax-007HF microfocus rotating anode X-ray generator dual equipped for data collection from macromolecular crystals and Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS). The left port of this instrument, dedicated to X-ray data collection from macromolecular crystals, is equipped with high focusing mirrors and a new ultrafast PILATUS 200K Hybrid Pixel Array Detector and a X-stream 2000 cryogenic system, while the right port hosts a new BioSAXS-2000 2D Kratky SAXS system.

The facility also provides access to instrumentation for biophysical characterization of proteins, and protein/protein and protein/DNA interactions. These instruments include a Beckman Coulter Analytical Ultracentrifuge (ProteomeLab XL-I/A Protein Characterization System), a JASCO J-810 Spectropolarimeter, a BIACORE 3000 SPR biosensor, a KinExA 3000, and two Isothermal Titration Calorimeters: MicroCal-ITC and a TA Instruments Nano-ITC.
