Rigaku Oxford Diffraction will attend the 2016 Groupe de Recherche Axé sur la Structure des Protéines (GRASP) Symposium, to present its latest X-ray diffraction technologies.

Rigaku Corporation is pleased to announce its participation in the 2016 Annual Groupe de Recherche Axé sur la Structure des Protéines (GRASP) Symposium.

The 9th GRASP scientific symposium will feature a variety of international speakers, poster sessions, exhibitors and short talks. It will take place Monday November 21, 2016, 8:00am - 6:30pm at the McGill New Residence Hall in Montréal, Quebec.

GRASP is a research group that brings together scientists working in various research fields with complementary goals. The objective of GRASP is to focus diverse expertise and promote exchanges and collaborations in order to better understand the molecular basis of diseases and to develop new therapies.

Rigaku Oxford Diffraction is the corporate sponsor of this event, and will be presenting its diverse lines of single crystal X-ray diffraction instrumentation at table 9.

X-Ray Diffraction and SpectroscopyX-Ray diffraction & spectroscopy are used in material characterization to discern the structure and elemental composition of a sample. X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.

The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.

It involves studying DNA, RNA, and proteins to understand gene expression, replication, and regulation. Molecular biology is fundamental to biotechnology, medicine, and genetic research. Explore molecular biology products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Protein BiologyThe analysis of protein expression, identity and function is vital for many areas of life science research and drug discovery. Some of the most commonly used techniques in protein analysis include Western blotting, electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.Protein StructureProtein structure refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of amino acids in proteins, determining their function. Understanding protein structure is key in drug discovery, enzymology, and molecular biology.
