Protein Precision: “Harnessing Targeted Protein Degradation”

Roots Analysis

Proteins are the chains of amino acids linked together in different combinations and perform a wide variety of functions. However, continuous regulation of the cellular proteome is essential for maintaining the right balance of different proteins necessary for normal cellular function, survival, and proliferation.

Three trends in the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) market 

Drug Discovery World

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are biopharmaceutical products in which a monoclonal antibody (mAB) is linked to a small molecule drug with a stable linker 1. To overcome this challenge, Synaffix has developed an innovative technology platform that can rapidly and efficiently convert any antibody into an ADC.
