Since the introduction of recombinant insulin as a therapeutic protein to treat diabetes in the early 1920s, proteins have increasingly been used for therapy. The use of proteins as therapeutics ...

What does it mean to purify proteins? Protein purification is a necessary process to identify the structure and function of a protein prior to study. Protein purification involves several steps, from ...

Fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) is a liquid chromatography technique for separation of protein molecules under pressure. It differs from high performance liquid chromatography in that the ...

Penn State chemical engineers have demonstrated proof of concept for a new protein purification process that combines ultrafiltration's high throughput with high specificity achievable through ...

Three-phase partitioning (TPP) is an efficient and cost-effective method for protein purification that exploits the simultaneous addition of salts and organic solvents to an aqueous protein extract.

Depending on the process and who provides the statistics, downstream processing accounts for between 50–80% of the cost of producing biotech drugs. Whatever the exact number, protein purification ...

Efficient and affordable protein purification is essential for developing next-generation drugs and vaccines. As biopharmaceuticals such as bispecific antibodies and cell and gene therapies continue ...

Conventionally, chromatography is used for protein purification, which is extremely expensive. Alternatively, the protein crystallization method could be used to determine protein structure, but this ...
