Facility Details

The Structural Biology Platform at the Université de Montréal offers access to several state-of-the-art scientific instruments intended to answer structural biological questions for the scientific community.

The platform houses a variety of advanced instruments. It features high-field NMR spectrometers (500, 600, and 700 MHz) with Bruker NEO consoles, ideal for studying protein interactions, RNA-small molecule screening, biomolecular assignments, and structure calculations. The platform also supports biological small-angle X-ray scattering (BioSAXS) with a liquid-metal-jet X-ray source for rapid macromolecular analysis. Additional tools include a TwoMP mass photometer for single-molecule mass measurements, a SEC-MALS system for molar mass determination, an isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC), and robotics for crystal tray preparation. A bioinformatics room equipped with Linux computers is available for data analysis.

Highly qualified personnel offer training and support to ensure high-quality data acquisition and analysis. Research consultation and turn-key services are available upon request.
