Building better proteins and peptides
Therapeutic proteins are a promising area, but protein drug formulation is challenging due to their structural complexity and instability. Researchers have developed a new peptide-based strategy for the generation of monoclonal antibodies that could neutralise the harmful protein particles that lead to Alzheimer’s disease and could be used as a tool to understand complex disease pathology and for developing new antibody-based drugs. Meanwhile, Chemical LInkage of Peptides onto Scaffolds (CLIPS) technology makes use of synthetic scaffolds to increase the activity and stability of a peptide.
