Fragment screening of GPCRs using Grating Coupled Interferometry (GCI) technology

GPCRs are notoriously difficult to study, due to their intrinsic protein instability. By utilizing the sensitivity of Grating Coupled Interferometry (GCI) technology combined with non-clog microfluidics, these pesky membrane proteins can be analyzed.

Evotec, a life science company who is committed to advancing drug discovery and development through their collaborations with biotech, pharma, foundations, academia and government agencies, have successfully harnessed Grating Coupled Interferometry (GCI) for the fragment screening of GPCRs.
