Our protein X-ray crystallography services provide protein crystallization and X-ray structure determination, FastLane™ Premium and FastLane™ standard libraries of verified drug targets (off-the-shelf structures), protein production and custom gene-to-structure and protein-ligand complex X-ray structure determination.
We provide a broad range of custom protein NMR (BioNMR) spectroscopy services that include peptide, protein, protein-ligand & protein-protein complex NMR assignment and 3D structure determination, NMR fragment screening using 1D or 2D NMR, epitope mapping and dissociation constant (Kd) determinations for compounds.
Antibody and antibody-antigen complex crystallization and high resolution X-ray structure determination, BioNMR and crystallographic characterization of higher order structure (HOS) of biosimilars, comparison with originator antibody and formulation optimization, biophysical characterization of antibodies and biosimilars in solution.
High throughput (2000-3000 cmpds/week), robust and accurate (validated against NMR and X-ray) fragment screening using weak-affinity chromatography (WAC™), which also includes binding assay and measurement of fragment affinity to immobilized protein - all in one experiment!
Computation chemistry is an integral part of our structure-based lead discovery services. We use state-of-the-art computational chemistry software and have gathered extensive experience in all aspects of computational chemistry, including:
- Virtual screening services
- Pharmacophore and shape-based virtual screening
- Ligand-based drug design, etc.
Our integrated lead discovery and structure-based drug design (SBDD) services include fragment screening, hit identification, hit-to-lead, and lead optimization. In collaboration with our in-house partner, Read Glead Discovery, we offer structure-based hit expansion, hit-to-lead, and lead optimization services.
State-of-the-art structural biology technology platform
Our technology services platform is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for all aspects of structural biology, including protein production, robotic nanoliter-scale crystallization screening and optimization of conditions for crystal growth, and crystallization drop imaging. For X-ray crystallographic data collection, we use the MAX IV synchrotron radiation facility (image above), located a couple of kilometers from our labs in Lund. Alternatively, we send the crystals to other European synchrotrons. We collect X-ray data approximately every second week.
We have access to high-quality, cutting-edge instrumentation for NMR spectroscopy services. We provide de novo NMR protein structure determination, protein-ligand/protein-protein complex NMR structure determination, small molecule fragment library screening, and much more…
