Mass production of recombinant proteins using yeast cell "factories" needs methanol, a compound that requires safe handling, carries the risk of catching fire, and sometimes produces harmful ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered that a protein called hnRNPM helps protect the integrity of the process cells use to make proteins. The protein ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound.

Fermentation has evolved into precision fermentation, utilizing biotechnology to engineer microorganisms that produce ...

Inclusion bodies, once considered a hindrance in recombinant protein production, are now recognised for their potential as reservoirs of bioactive proteins and functional biomaterials. In bacterial ...

When we think about the blueprint of life, we tend to focus on DNA—the genetic code stored in every cell of our bodies. But DNA is only part of the story. For those instructions to matter, they must ...

The host cell system is a critical determinant of recombinant protein quality and yield, with direct influence on protein folding and post-translational modification factors that shape the ...

Escherichia coli remains at the forefront of recombinant protein production, owing to its rapid growth, well-characterised genetics and the ease with which it can be genetically manipulated. The ...

Researchers have discovered that the protein hnRNPM prevents the cell from making mistakes while it is producing new proteins, which helps maintain the integrity of this vital process. Researchers at ...
