Can a plant-based discovery pave the way for new drug treatments?

Drug Discovery World

Scientists at the University of Bath have developed a way of joining up the head and tail of a protein, making it more stable and easier to get into cells. Drug treatments often work by binding to proteins involved in disease and blocking their activity, which either reduces symptoms or treats the disease.

Rising Demand for DNA and Gene Cloning  Service Providers

Roots Analysis

Once isolated, molecular clones can be used to generate multiple copies of DNA for the analysis of gene sequences and / or to express proteins obtained for the study or utilization of protein function. These clones can be manipulated and mutated in vitro to alter the expression and function of a protein.
