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 ...

The use of surface plasmon resonance to characterize protein:protein interactions is well established and has been the method of choice for determination of antibody affinity for the last 20 years.

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Bacteriophages — or just plain phages — are a class of virus that infect bacteria. Phages are interesting little assemblies of protein-wrapped DNA or RNA that by most biological standards don’t even ...
