Today, the ability to obtain pure proteins is essential for developing targeted drugs, creating vaccines and understanding biological processes at a molecular level. The development and optimization ...

Tedious, time-consuming, exasperating: Those are perhaps the three words that researchers use most commonly to describe protein purification. Proteins, and their little sisters the peptides, are among ...

Antibodies are essential proteins produced by the immune system that recognize and bind to specific targets, known as antigens. Their high specificity and affinity make antibodies invaluable tools in ...

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences - from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of ...

Conventionally, chromatography is used for protein purification, which is extremely expensive. Alternatively, the protein crystallization method could be used to determine protein structure, but this ...

Creating analytical tools that support the advancement of knowledge can often come about through the integration of existing information and techniques, theoretical and practical, directed toward a ...

Engineers devised a way to purify protein drugs during manufacturing. Their approach, which uses nanoparticles to rapidly crystallize proteins, could help make protein drugs more affordable and ...

Scientists can choose from many protein purification protocols, but some methods fail to produce sufficient sample purity. By selecting the right chromatography method, researchers can optimize the ...

The team has further developed the method of chromatography. For this purpose, they have developed a light-sensitive molecular appendix that serves as an anchor for the target protein. It binds the ...
