Molecules interact based on their shared fear of water in this analytical HPLC-based method.
What is hydrophobic interaction chromatography? (HIC)

Light is directed at gold nanoparticles and the resulting plasmon wavelength corresponds to the distance between particles and serves as a proxy for this characteristic of a protein. Hint: there is no surface involved in this method.
What is self-interaction (by AC-SINS)?

This instrument is used for preparative scale purification of proteins; like a skilled "actor" it is highly versatile!
