Researchers at the VIB-VUB Center for Structural Biology have developed a new microfluidics-based workflow that enables ...

One third of cold-pressed rapeseed press cake consists of nutritionally valuable protein that could have many other uses besides animal feed. A researcher has developed enzyme-aided methods for ...

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 ...

Previous purification methods, such as ammonium sulphate precipitation, were known to yield a crude purification of proteins. Affinity purification of antibodies is one of widely used techniques where ...

Researchers at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, are developing an alternative to nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) to purify recombinant proteins. Because it uses common ...

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 ...
