Molecular Recognition
The Molecular
Recognition project involves the development of Microscale
X-Ray Fluorescence (MXRF) for the high throughput imaging and
quantification of molecular recognition. Using MXRF, we have
found that we can perform fluorescence screening on small molecules
and proteins that do not have standard fluorophore moieties.
This project is especially important for defense purposes. By
MXRF screening, we can develop the selective receptors needed
to improve chemical weapon sensors. We have also determined that
this MXRF method allows imaging of pharmaceutical-like molecules,
and we are pursuing the development of therapeutics. Some of
our results are shown in the Molecular Recognition overview.
The MXRF team consists of Ben Warner, George Havrilla, Tommi
Miller, and Cyndi Wells.
