Researchers have used nanoparticles to stabilise membrane proteins, allowing for detailed analysis of their structure and molecular functions that could help drug discovery.
US researchers have developed a new technique that has enabled them to determine the structure of membrane proteins without having to first crystallise the samples.
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences have
discovered a way of making membrane proteins in bacterial cells,
opening the door to new and improved treatments for a host of human
diseases.
A pioneering research project could pave the way for more effective
drug treatments for diseases including cancer, parasitic, bacterial
and viral diseases by visualising, in detail, membrane proteins
that have the potential to be...
UK researchers have developed a technique that could be used to
analyse membrane proteins, capturing them in their natural
structural state to make it easier to develop drug candidates to
target them.
