Protein A affinity chromatography is the standard purification method for isolation of therapeutic antibodies. Due to improvements in expression technology and optimization of fermentation, culture supernatants with high antibody content must be processed. Recently protein A affinity media with improved adsorption characteristics have been developed. The agarose media MabSelect Xtra and MabSelect SuRe are recent developments of the existing protein A affinity medium MabSelect. MabSelect Xtra is designed to exhibit a higher binding capacity for IgG, and MabSelect SuRe is functionalized with an alkaline stabilized protein A. ProSep-vA Ultra is a porous glass medium with a pore size of 70 nm, also developed to improve the binding capacity. Adsorption was measured in a finite and infinite bath. Mass transfer in these systems could be well described by a model including film and pore diffusion. Mass transfer parameters were used to accurately predict IgG breakthrough in packed bed mode. The dynamic binding capacity of all three media did not change when residence time was at least 4 min. All three media are suited for capture of feed stocks with high antibody content.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) presents a significant global health issue due to its widespread prevalence and the absence of a reliable vaccine for prevention. While significant progress has been achieved in therapeutic interventions since the disease was first identified, its resurgence underscores the need for innovative strategies to combat it. The nonstructural protein NS5A is crucial in the life cycle of the HCV, serving as a significant factor in both viral replication and assembly processes.

The cis-regulatory elements encoded in an mRNA determine its stability and translational output. While there has been a considerable effort to understand the factors driving mRNA stability, the regulatory frameworks governing translational control remain more elusive. We have developed a novel massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to measure mRNA translation, named Nascent Peptide Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (NaP-TRAP).

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell surface receptors in humans. The binding and dissociation of ligands tunes the inherent conformational flexibility of these important drug targets towards distinct functional states. Here we show how to trigger and resolve protein-ligand interaction dynamics within the human adenosine A receptor.

Since the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first reported from Wuhan, China, there has been a surge in scientific research to find a permanent cure for the disease. The main challenge in effective drug discovery is the continuously mutating nature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Thus, we have used the I-TASSER modeling to predict the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 viral envelope protein followed by combinatorial computational assessment to predict its putative potential small molecule inhibitors.

Constitutional platelet disorders have become better understood since Bernard and Soulier first described a case in 1948. Their diagnosis can also be challenging due to overlap in clinical presentation and lab findings with platelet type von Willebrand. Bernard-Soulier syndrome is a disorder caused by GPIb receptor mutations that decrease its affinity for von Willebrand factor resulting in reduced platelet function and macrothrombocytopenia.
