Biolayer Interferometry

Short explanation of Biolayer Interferometry

Biolayer interferometry (BLI) is a technique used to study protein interactions and binding. It works by measuring changes in the optical thickness, or interferometry pattern, of a biological layer on a sensor tip as proteins bind or dissociate from the sensor surface. When a protein of interest binds to a molecule immobilized on the sensor tip, it causes a change in the light's interference pattern, which is detected and measured. This change allows researchers to quantify the kinetics, affinity, and concentration of interactions between proteins and other molecules in real-time, without the need for labels or complex sample preparation.

You can directly add & edit Excalidraw sketches in Gitbook which is pretty cool :)

Why does the number go up?

Because it wants to fly
