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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Protein purification is often deceptively complex. While protocols may appear straightforward, researchers often encounter aggregation, loss of activity, or inconsistent results. A well-planned ...

Membrane proteins are the gateway to cells and are involved in many critical functions. Each membrane protein is unique, and their complexity makes it difficult to fit into a standardized expression ...

Impossible Foods. has filed a patent for a method to purify protein from cells, aiming to minimize undesirable odors and flavors while increasing yield. The process involves lysing cells, clarifying ...

For the novice protein purifier, finding a place to start might seem overwhelming, but fortunately the process can be approached systematically. Andrew Mitchell, technical consultant for Amersham ...
