UNC Macromolecular Interactions Facility

Overview of Services

The Macromolecular Interactions Facility (UNC folks fondly call it the Mac-In-Fac) is a core facility of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It provides instrumentation and resources for biophysical characterization of biological macromolecules and their interactions with ligands. Core instrumentation include: surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based and bio-layer interferometry (BLI)-based biosensors; fully-automated isothermal titration calorimeters (ITCs); a circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimeter; static and dynamic light scattering instruments; a nanoDSF (nano-differential scanning fluorimeter), and a microscale thermophoresis (MST) instrument.

We welcome researchers from other academic institutions and biotech companies. Researchers from Triangle-based academic institutions and companies can contact the Director directly for using our equipment.
