KumatorI Deuteration Station (KIDS)
KumatorI Deuteration Station (KIDS) is a deuteration facility of Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science, Kyoto University in Japan. Our aims are to:
- Supply deuterated proteins for biological research
- Develop deuteration techniques (precise control of deuteration ratio, D2O recycling, large-scale preparation of deuterated proteins, and selective deuteration with protein ligation)
- Develop domain-selective deuteration technique for multi domain protein utilizing ligation technique
- Develop SANS and other neutron scattering methods (mimicking in-cell (crowding) environment and kinetics).
Deuteration capabilities
