The BIOMOLECULES technology area provides services related to proteins, lipids, metabolites, and antibodies plus nanobodies. We provide technologies for the generation, characterization, and…
Our portfolio
Most areas of protein biochemistry are technically and topically covered in our facility. We have a broad experimental portfolio, ranging from molecular cloning to biophysical…
We have a particular expertise in the areas highlighted below for which we developed dedicated enabling technologies.
Flexibac
Baculovirus-mediated expression in insect cells is a powerful approach for protein production. However, many existing methods are time-consuming, offer limited options for protein tagging,…
Expression screening pipeline
Escherichia coli is one of the most widely used expression hosts for membrane proteins. However, establishing conditions for its recombinant production of membrane…
Membrane reconstitiion
The key function of many proteins that reside in the lipid membranes of cells is the transport of solutes. Although some functional properties of transport proteins can be…
Synthetic nanobodies
Mechanistic and structural studies of membrane proteins require their stabilization in specific conformations. Single domain antibodies are potent reagents for this purpose, but…
