With the growing demand for healthy diets and functional foods, plant extracts and plant protein peptides are increasingly ...

“I’ve always loved proteins,” says Michal Mayer with a sincere smile on her face. “You don’t dedicate your life to this if you don’t love proteins,” the biochemist and head protein researcher at Day 8 ...

Chromatography remains a cornerstone in the purification of proteins, offering a suite of techniques that separate components based on differential interactions with a mobile phase and a stationary ...

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 ...

Virginia-based Nutriati – which has developed a patented process yielding highly functional pulse proteins and flours with potential to unlock new opportunities in plant-based meat, dairy, gluten-free ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are a wide variety of protein-based drugs that are used to treat various serious conditions. Insulin is perhaps the most well-known example, which is used for life-saving treatments for diabetes ...

Engineers devised a way to purify protein drugs during manufacturing. Their approach, which uses nanoparticles to rapidly crystallize proteins, could help make protein drugs more affordable and ...
