Laboratory purpose:
This facility provides a core center for circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy to researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and neighboring institutions.

Laboratory capabilities:

• CD spectroscopy and data analysis of proteins and chemical compounds
• Secondary structure analysis of proteins in solution
• Temperature-controlled kinetic studies
• Thermal denaturation profiles of aqueous proteins

Instrumentation:

• CD spectrophotometer - Jasco 7-720 - with computer controlled data acquisition
• Temperature circulator - Neslab - computer controlled
