The eSPC platform (spc.embl-hamburg.de) is a collection of programs designed to analyze biophysical data using different techniques. The table below shows the tools available along with their purpose:
| Tool | Purpose | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| MoltenProt | Protein stability | Differential scanning fluorimetry |
| FoldAffinity | Binding affinity | Differential scanning fluorimetry |
| ThermoAffinity | Binding affinity | Microscale thermophoresis / fluorescence quenching |
| PhotoMol | Sample size, oligomerization and homogeneity | Mass photometry |
| Raynals | Sample size and homogeneity | Single-angle dynamic light scattering |
| ChiraKit | Protein stability, secondary structure, binding | Circular dichroism |
To install all or some of the eSPC platform tools, please refer to the 'installation_guide.md' document.
Developers: Osvaldo Burastero, Stephan Niebling, Clemente Borges and Andrea D'Amato
Project Leader: Maria Garcia Alai
