With a focus on quality and stability, gain access to our established systems, strategies, and advanced co-expression vectors to address even the most significant challenges of recombinant protein production.

In this month’s newsletter, learn more about our comprehensive panel of CDK4/6 inhibitor-resistant breast cancer models and in vitro imaging assays for compound profiling.  We also showcase our recent publications describing the development of HBV antigen inhibitors and noncovalent inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 3C-like protease (3CLpro).  

The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is an essential enzyme for the replication of SARS-CoV-2 and thus is a target for drug discovery teams. Nearly all inhibitors of coronavirus 3CLpro reported so far are covalent inhibitors. Here, we report the development of specific, noncovalent inhibitors of 3CLpro with high in vivo efficacy in mice. One compound, WU-04, …Read More >

KRAS mutant proteins that drive cancer development are highly similar in sequence and structure. Direct inhibitors are most likely to bind to the catalytic domain of KRAS. However, recent studies have found that KRAS mutants can also be targeted by heterogeneous sites, to develop covalent inhibitors of KRAS mutants. The discovery of inhibitors that selectively …Read More >

This webinar will focus on aspects related to PROTAC discovery and chemistry workflows, such as ligand finding strategies, synthesis optimization, and linker design. Successful development of bifunctional molecules requires a deep understanding of multiple processes, including biophysical events which dictate induced proximity and how technologies such as DNA-encoded libraries (DEL) can be leveraged to identify …Read More >

As part of our dedication to providing an #openaccess platform, so our entire ecosystem can come together to share #science & #collaborate to better the lives of all #patientsfirst. We’ve created MoA animations in our new series exploring biotech topics on a molecular level. First up, we explain the intricacies of how targeted protein degradation …Read More >
