Inimex and SARomics Announce Successful Achievement of Key Scientific Milestone in Structural Biology Collaboration
Read time: Less than a minute
Inimex Pharmaceuticals and SARomics Biostructures have announced that they have achieved a scientific milestone in their collaboration to solve the structure of Inimex’s Innate Defense Regulator (IDR) IMX942 in complex with its target, the ZZ domain of human p62 (sequestosome-1). No structures were previously available for this challenging protein domain.
The crystal structure determined by SARomics Biostructures provides invaluable information that will assist the functional understanding of IMX942 and the development of the new generation of IDRs.
The p62 ZZ domain was cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized by SARomics Biostructures in collaboration with their molecular biology partner Vectron Biosolutions in Trondheim, Norway. Excellent crystallographic data were obtained at the MAX-lab synchrotron in Lund, Sweden.
“We are very excited to be able to help Inimex Pharmaceuticals fully leverage the potential of IMX942 by revealing the molecular details of its interactions with its target protein”, says Dr. Derek Logan, Chief Scientific Officer of SARomics Biostructures AB.
