Antibody and Protein Production

Antibody and protein production is a fundamental aspect of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, involving the synthesis of these crucial biomolecules for research, therapeutic, and industrial purposes.

Polypeptide Conjugation based Half-Life Extension

Polypeptide conjugation-based half-life extension is an innovative approach in the realm of drug development, aimed at prolonging the activity duration of therapeutic agents. By conjugating polypeptides to drugs, researchers can enhance the molecules’ stability and reduce their clearance from the body. This technique involves attaching biodegradable polypeptides that increase the drug’s size and mask sites susceptible to enzymatic degradation. Polypeptide conjugation-based half-life extension is particularly effective for biologics, such as proteins and antibodies, where it helps in sustaining therapeutic levels with less frequent dosing. This method not only optimizes the therapeutic efficacy but also improves patient convenience and adherence to treatment regimens.

Ribosome Sequencing in Protein Synthesis Dynamics

Ribosome sequencing in protein synthesis dynamics is an advanced technique used to study the process of translation in real time. By analyzing ribosome profiling data, researchers can obtain a snapshot of which mRNAs are being translated and how ribosomes are distributed across these mRNAs at any given moment. This method provides insights into the rate of protein synthesis, the efficiency of translational control, and the identification of previously unknown regulatory sequences involved in translation. Ribosome sequencing is especially valuable for understanding how cells respond to various stimuli by altering their protein production rates, offering a detailed view of protein synthesis dynamics in different biological contexts.

Spatial Metabolomics

Spatial metabolomics is an advanced scientific approach that combines metabolomics with spatial resolution, allowing researchers to study the distribution of metabolites within the complex architecture of biological tissues. This technique provides valuable insights into the metabolic processes occurring in specific tissue regions, enhancing our understanding of biochemical activities and their spatial heterogeneity.

Chromatin Accessibility Sequencing

Chromatin accessibility sequencing is a group of techniques used to map regions of open chromatin within the genome, providing insight into genomic regulatory elements such as promoters, enhancers, and other transcriptionally active regions. These methods help researchers understand the regulatory architecture of the genome and how it influences gene expression and cellular function. Here are some key techniques and their applications:
