Innovative Spectroscopy Is Enhancing Protein Structure Determination

Industry Insight

Proteins are central to many disciplines within the life sciences, not least protein-based pharmaceuticals. Changes in protein conformation, structure or interactions could have significant impact on efficacy and safety. Therefore, being able to understand what forms of a protein are present in their natural conditions, even if present only at low levels, is important for analysts.

Genetic Study Suggests Pangolins May Possess an Evolutionary Advantage Against Coronaviruses
Article

In most mammals, there are certain genes that can be likened to an "alarm system", informing an organism when foreign material such as a virus enters the body and triggering an immune response. A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology suggests that pangolins, despite being mammals, lack two of the genes involved in such an alarm system.
