In this webinar, you will get a practical walk-through of how to make consistent transfers from a deep well block to a crystal screening plate using an automated pipetting system and examine best practice setting up sitting-drop vapour diffusion crystallisation.
Scientists from the University of Chicago discovered that the drug masitinib inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in mice.
UK researchers have shown how microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) could obtain the structures of potential pharmaceuticals.
Optimisation of a hit towards a lead happens in a variety of ways, as a lead needs to meet various criteria such as activity, affinity to the target, selectivity, solubility, permeability or metabolic stability to become a promising candidate. A balance between in vitro profiles and pharmacokinetic attributes has to…
Using a high-brilliance X-ray lightsource and protein crystallography, researchers have identified two drugs that inhibit the main protease of SARS-CoV-2.
Using X-ray crystallography and simulations, researchers have shown that APT2 is a hybrid between a lipid carrier protein and a hydrolase.
Using X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, researchers have elucidated the structure of the SARM1 protein, a target for neurodegeneration.
Lan Zhu from Arizona State University explains how cryo-EM methods can be used to obtain structural information on membrane proteins such as GPCRs.
Researchers hope that by revealing the rotavirus VP3 protein structure and mRNA capping functions, novel antivirals could be designed to prevent or combat rotavirus infections.
Researchers have obtained the crystal structure of the lipin enzyme, the regulator of triglyceride production, which they say could inform research into heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
Chemical crosslinking coupled with mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has been used for many years to study protein structure and function. However, recent advances in MS technology, as well as crosslinking reagents and data analysis tools, mean the technique has truly come of age. Here, Albert JR Heck, Alexander Makarov, Henning Urlaub…
A new mechanism has been reported for detecting foreign material during early immune responses which may help detect elusive cancers.
A report from scientists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology highlights the advantages and disadvantages of serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography. This article investigates the review, focusing on its role in drug development.
Findings from a recent study could lead to the development of therapeutic approaches against influenza A viruses.
Scientists in Switzerland have developed a new means of crystallising membrane proteins – a hitherto elusive feat – in order to study their structure and aid understanding of their processes.
