The emphasis of the expression Core is on providing a uniform set of procedures for proteinexpression, protein folding and preliminary structural studies, and to provide expertise formeasuring protein-protein interactions using a range of equipment available at the BurnhamInstitute. Included in the scope of this Core are:1. State-of-the-art protein expression and purification of virulence factors and their host celltargets using high-throughput technologies2. Large scale purification of isotopically labeled proteins for NMR3. Preliminary screens for crystallization, diffraction quality and NMR studies.4. Analysis of protein folding and inhibitor/protein interactions, using SPR, DSC, CD, ITC,stopped-flow fluorimetry.The Expression Core will be utilized for the production of quantities of pure proteins suitable for 3-D structural analysis. In addition, Projects will require substantial use of the Core to generate protein targets for high throughput combinatorial library screening.
