Biomolecules

The Biomolecules Group is dedicated to chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides and peptides, as well as the production, purification, biophysical characterization and crystallization of proteins and their complexes. Comprising four highly specialized and well-equipped laboratories, the group is strategic for the scientific community, integrating essential technologies for interaction studies, structural, functional and biological assays, and sample quality control. Through synergy between specialized knowledge and advanced resources, this group of laboratories offers fundamental support to advance the development a wide variety of molecular research.

Automated chemical synthesis, customization, purification, and characterization of peptides and oligonucleotides from DNA and RNA

To guarantee the high purity and homogeneity required for biophysical, structural and functional analyses, the laboratory has semi-automated chromatographs to carry out the main liquid chromatography techniques

High-throughput equipment for preparing protein crystallization matrices and experiments

Technologies and equipment for the physical, chemical, biophysical and structural analysis and characterization of proteins, polymers and nanoparticles in solution
