Understanding how molecules interact is integral to numerous life science fields, such as drug discovery and development efforts. Therefore, it is essential that researchers choose the technique best suited to their needs. In this Infographic, we compare three techniques for measuring biomolecular interactions: surface plasmon resonance (SPR), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
