| Description | Techniques of quantitative analysis are very important for studies of the interactions between bio-molecules in the field of biotechnology and drug development. The total internal reflection ellipsometry system (TIRE) is an attractive label-free procedure for the quantitative analysis of biomolecules because it combines the analytic ability of ellipsometry and the high surface sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance. In this work, we have used TIRE to study the optical properties of an aquatic monolayer of human serum albumin (HSA) and oligo-DNA. Also, we have monitored the adsorption and the interaction processes of protein layers. |
