Dual-Polarization Interferometry

Short description: Analytical technique that probes molecular layers adsorbed to the surface of a waveguide


Dual-polarization interferometry (DPI) is an analytical technique that probes molecular layers adsorbed to the surface of a waveguide using the evanescent wave of a laser beam. It is used to measure the conformational change in proteins, or other biomolecules, as they function (referred to as the conformation activity relationship).

Instrumentation

The technique is quantitative and real-time (10 Hz) with a dimensional resolution of 0.01 nm.[1]

Applications

A novel application for dual-polarization interferometry emerged in 2008, where the intensity of light passing through the waveguide is extinguished in the presence of crystal growth. This has allowed the very earliest stages in protein crystal nucleation to be monitored.[2] Later versions of dual-polarization interferometers also have the capability to quantify the order and disruption in birefringent thin films.[3] This has been used, for example, to study the formation of lipid bilayers and their interaction with membrane proteins.[4][5]
