The study of enzyme catalysis requires instrumentation that can acquire spectra quickly. At Bruker Optics, the development of UltraScan linear air bearing scanning with specialized alignment technology and fast 320 kHz mirror velocity was specifically designed to accommodate kinetic studies such as the catalysis of ?-chymotrypsin, a commonly studied mammalian digestive enzyme. A recent white paper discusses this application using a Vertex 80 Fourier transform infrared spectrometer.
