Phage display is an analytical technique used to study protein-protein interactions and the relationship between a protein and the encoding DNA. Phage display begins by incorporating the protein of ...

In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

Chemists are taking a p[h]age from bacteria's playbook in order to beat viruses at their own game and develop new drugs to fight cancer and a host of other human diseases in the process. Chemists at ...

Determining functions of novel gene products identified in genome sequencing efforts has become an important scientific challenge. Identifying proteins that interact with novel gene products can help ...

When a person receives a cancer diagnosis, treatment can often include chemotherapy. This method of treating cancer also can affect healthy cells. But what if there was a drug on the market that, ...

Estimates of the total complement of human genes vary from as low as 40,000 to 160,000. The human genome is thought to encode anywhere between 300,000 and 7.5 million protein and peptide forms 1. But ...

Mapping the individual amino acids where antibodies bind (epitopes) to target viral proteins (antigens) is crucial to predicting how target proteins may evolve to escape antibody binding, improve ...

Key market opportunities in the antibody optimization service industry include addressing rising chronic and complex diseases ...

The recently published recommendations of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) shine a spotlight on the versatility and scientific benefits of universal antibody libraries in ...

Collateral damage to normal microbiota, which can be associated with the use of less-specific chemical antibacterials, [4] is avoided. Nonetheless, there are several challenges that must be addressed ...
