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 ...

Self-removing tags can be used for simple and effective purification of recombinant proteins and peptides. The key component of these tags is an intein, which is a protein element with the ability to ...

Large biomolecules such as immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin A, virus-like particles (VLPs), plasma proteins, and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated proteins are difficult to purify because of their ...

In academic and industrial protein research, speed, accuracy, and accessibility are essential. After purifying proteins using ...

Protein samples are essential to advance our understanding of disease pathways and develop new therapeutics. High-quality filtration is needed to protect purity, yield and functionality of target ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- One of the most expensive steps in manufacturing protein drugs such as antibodies or insulin is the purification step: isolating the protein from the bioreactor used to produce it.
