The CEDRO Group is responsible for the management and operation of the CEDRO beamline of the synchrotron light source Sirius, at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS).
The CEDRO beamline will be dedicated to the Electronic Circular Dichroism (CD) technique. This technique allows analyzing the secondary structure of proteins and protein-drug complexes, identifying the disordered regions of these proteins, as well as analyzing the interactions of proteins with small molecules, which will contribute to the development of drugs. In addition, the CEDRO beamline will allow the measurements to be carried out under simulated physiological conditions, mimicking the biological environment.
