Enabling the next wave of innovative drug therapies with speciality enzymes

Pharmaceutical Technology

Specialty enzymes are proteins that can act as very specific biocatalysts to accelerate reactions and produce the desired target molecule in pharmaceuticals,” explains Kristoffer Laursen, Head of R&D at Novo Nordisk Pharmatech. In the evolving biotechnology industry, enzymes are important process aids.

mRNA Cancer Vaccines and Therapies: An Overview

Advarra

Adoptive T Cell therapies, therapeutic antibodies, and immunomodulatory proteins represent just some of the potentially beneficial treatment strategies for successful mRNA cancer trials. One strategy proposed the use of synthetic mRNA or modified mRNA analogs, which can enhance the stability and protein expression of mRNA.

How single-use technologies can improve antibodies production  

Drug Discovery World

This means we are able to hijack the cell machinery to be even more efficient than before to produce more of what we want (mAb) and less of what we don’t want (impurities) through the different genetic editing tools for cell engineering.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. There are various regulatory proteins or transcription factors that are responsible for affecting the transcription rate.
