High Throughput Screening is crucial in pharmaceutical companies for efficient testing in drug discovery and development. Our Vaccines Analytical Research and Development (V-AR&D) department extensively uses robotic liquid handlers in their High Thro...
INTRODUCTION: Aptamers refer to short ssDNA/RNA sequences that target small molecules, proteins, or cells. Aptamers have significantly advanced diagnostic applications, including biosensors for detecting specific biomarkers, state-of-the-art imaging,...
The recent capability to measure thousands of plasma proteins from a tiny blood sample has provided a new dimension of expansive data that can advance our understanding of human health. For example, the company SomaLogic has developed the means to me...
Cellulose and hemicellulose are key cross-linked carbohydrates affecting bioethanol production in maize stalks. Traditional wet chemical methods for their detection are labor-intensive, highlighting the need for high-throughput techniques. This study...
Mechanical forces are essential for life activities, and the mechanical phenotypes of single cells are increasingly gaining attention. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been a standard method for single-cell nanomechanical assays, but its efficiency ...
Protein design and directed evolution have separately contributed enormously to protein engineering. Without being mutually exclusive, the former relies on computation from first principles, while the latter is a combinatorial approach based on chanc...
BACKGROUND: Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea. There are no vaccines and infections are treated principally with antibiotics. However, gonococci rapidly develop resistance to every antibiotic class used and...
Cryptosporidiosis, a prevalent gastrointestinal illness worldwide, is caused by the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum. Calcium-dependent protein kinase 1 (CpCDPK1), crucial for the parasite's life cycle, serves as a promising drug target due ...
INTRODUCTION: For the past two decades, virtual screening (VS) has been an efficient hit finding approach for drug discovery. Today, billions of commercially accessible compounds are routinely screened, and many successful examples of VS have been re...
