For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...
A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...
Dublin, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Proteins & Protein Crystals Market by Product Type, Structural, Specialty, Application, End User - Global Forecast to 2030" has been added to ...
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can dynamically change their conformations depending on their external environment and can, therefore, bind to different compounds. However, they are difficult ...
Dutch chemist Paul Poodt has developed two attractive alternatives for allowing protein crystals to grow under weightless conditions. If the crystals are grown upside down in a strong magnetic field, ...
BioOrbit aims to kick off pre-clinical trials to study protein crystals for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) produced in a pharmaceutical factory in space in 2026. The UK-based company hopes that ...
This approach bypasses time-consuming protein purification steps, thereby reducing the number of crystals (ideally to one) required compared with X-ray diffraction methods. The range of applicable ...
