Turku Protein Core (TuProtCore) is a one-stop-shop open-access core facility that helps internal and external users with their protein-related tasks. It includes vast basic and advanced infrastructure from both Åbo Akademi University and the University of Turku and has capabilities to assist researchers in moving their project from protein expression to biophysical characterization to protein crystallization.

- Webinar on cell-free protein production with Nuclera
Turku Protein Core and Nuclera are organizing a webinar on Nuclera’s eProtein Discovery system. The system utilizes cell-free protein synthesis for expression screening of constructs.
You can find more information about the systems in this intro video and this flyer.
The webinar is held on 17.9. at 13. If there is enough interest after the webinar, we plan to organise a demo here on campus so that people can get hands-on with the instrument. Participants would need to pay for consumables and order suitable constructs for the system.
You can register for the event via the link below. If you cannot make it but are interested in the potential demo, you can also use the form to let us know!
Registration form for the webinar
The deadline for the registration is 15.9.
- Protein characterization events in September
Turku Protein Core is organizing events on two different protein characterization techniques. More info on each and how to register is below:
Hands-on workshop for differential scanning fluorimetry with Applied Photophysics
Applied Photophysics (https://www.photophysics.com) is bringing their SUPR-DSF instrument to Biocity on 9.-10.9. The workshop starts with the theoretical part on 9.9. and participants will have a chance to test the instrument with their own samples on both days. DSF can be used to measure a protein sample’s stability. More information on the instrument can be found in the invitation.

The deadline for registration is 4.9.
Webinar on Flow Induced Dispersion Analysis with FidaBio
FidaBio (https://www.fidabio.com/) is giving a presentation on flow-induced dispersion and Fida Neo on 5.9. at 13. FIDA can be used for in-solution measurement of affinity, kinetics and quality & quantity of your protein. More information about this can be found in the invitation.

The deadline for registration is on 3.9.
- Monolith NT.Automated – re-training session & Spectral Shift introduction with NanoTemper Technologies
Turku Protein Core and NanoTemper would like to invite you to the free Monolith NT. Automated retraining session on 28.5. at Biocity. We would like to invite all scientists who have measured interactions using the Monolith system, as well as all those who plan to start such measurements. During the meeting, you will have the opportunity to:
Refreshing information on the basics of the MST (MicroScaleThermophoresis) method.
What kind of interactions can we measure using MST?
New Spectral Shift method – how it works?
What does the measurement look like and how to prepare the sample.
Data analysis from Monolith
Possibility to talk to specialists from NanoTemper Technologies.
Find out more about the schedule and how to register from the invitation.
