Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is initiated by an interaction between the human angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2) receptor and the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S ...

(Nanowerk News) Proteins are naturally fluorescent in the ultraviolet, offering an appealing approach to probe proteins in their native state without introducing any external fluorescent label. The UV ...

Fluorescent protein chromophores are the light‐emitting centres intrinsic to proteins such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants. These chromophores emerge through post‐translational ...

Why 3,000 bars are needed to take a comprehensive look at a protein: Researchers present a new high-pressure spectroscopy method to unravel the properties of proteins' native structures. A pressure of ...

The biopharmaceutical sector is transitioning from reactive off-line quality control to a proactive quality by design (QbD) framework. Process analytical technology (PAT) enables this shift through ...

The complex 3-D structure of a protein ultimately determines its biological function. As such, maintaining the native conformation is clearly of critical importance if the protein in question is to be ...

A novel Raman technique measures protein–ligand binding at physiologically relevant conditions in real time. Researchers at the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University (TX, USA) have developed a ...

A startup founded by ex-Meta scientists has used an artificial intelligence protein model called ESM3 to generate a novel fluorescent protein, esmGFP, that the researchers frame as equivalent to 500 ...

Combining pump-probe spectroscopy with fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy enables non-invasive ultrafast imaging of ...

Fluorescence microscopy is a commonly employed optical analysis technique, utilizing an external light source to excite and initiate fluorescence in a material. Image Credit: anyaivanova / ...
