57Fe Mössbauer Spectroscopy
Mössbauer spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique for the study of iron atoms within molecules. It can be used to determine the oxidation state of the metal and its chemical and structural environment. Although the technique is generally used to study condensed matter, the platform at BIG sets itself apart by its expertise in the field of life-sciences. This platform investigates the active sites of iron-containing proteins, which may be isolated (in vitro studies) or expressed in cells (in cellulo studies).
Among all the Mössbauer spectroscopy platforms worldwide, only around ten focus on biological systems; the platform is the only one of its kind in France. |
