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 ...

Affinity chromatography can be applied to a wide array of proteins and works by exploiting the binding properties between proteins and ligands. It involves passing a recombinant protein mixture over a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Heriot-Watt University researchers have developed a new method to extract high-quality protein from rapeseed waste using ...

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), have created a method that extracts over 80 per cent of the available protein in grain leftovers from brewing beer, ...
