Protein Production UK
Protein Production UK
The genomics revolution has opened the protein world for discovery research in medicine, biosciences, and biotechnology. Interpreting and exploiting this information necessitates an understanding of how proteins function as part of complex and dynamic macro-molecular assemblies in cells. Interpreting and exploiting this information necessitates an understanding of how proteins function as part of complex and dynamic macro-molecular assemblies.
Protein Production UK aims to address the production, modification and hence tracking of proteins and their interactions both in vitro and in vivo. This work builds on foundations laid down by PPUK’s predecessor – the Oxford Protein Production Facility – which developed workflows for high throughput cloning, expression, and purification of recombinant proteins that we have implemented in the Franklin.
A key new development is the establishment of a technology platform for the generation of nanobodies for applications in structural cell biology and as potential disease modifying agents.
