SPR measures biomolecular interactions in real time without labels. Use it to quantify kon, koff, and KD across a broad affinity range.

​
What it measures

  • Real-time association and dissociation to quantify kon, koff, and KD
  • Label-free readout on sensor chips

​
When to use

  • You need precise kinetics beyond endpoint binding
  • Benchmarking or mechanism studies

​
How we use SPR at Adaptyv

We use the Carterra LSA XT for high-throughput SPR measurements. Our typical workflow involves:
  • Protein immobilization: User-designed proteins are expressed with a linker and Twin-Strep-Tag
  • Surface capture: Tagged proteins are immobilized on the sensor chip surface
  • Kinetic analysis: Real-time binding measurements to determine kon, koff, and KD values
This approach allows us to efficiently characterize binding interactions for designed proteins across multiple conditions.
