Bespoke affinity ligands for the purification of therapeutic proteins

2015 This article provides an overview of the current challenges and trends in bioprocessing, with a focus on recent advances in the affinity purification of the principal classes of biotherapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies, glycoproteins, vaccines and erythropoietin. Affinity chromatography is usually applied during large-scale protein purification; it involves affinity ligands of biol...

Bespoke photoreductants: tungsten arylisocyanides.

Modular syntheses of oligoarylisocyanide ligands that are derivatives of 2,6-diisopropylphenyl isocyanide (CNdipp) have been developed; tungsten complexes incorporating these oligoarylisocyanide ligands exhibit intense metal-to-ligand charge-transfer visible absorptions that are red-shifted and more intense than those of the parent W(CNdipp)6 complex. Additionally, these W(CNAr)6 complexes have...

Bespoke microbiome therapy to manage plant diseases

Information gathered with advanced nucleotide sequencing technologies, small molecule detection systems and computational biology is revealing that a community of microbes and their genes, now termed "the microbiome," located in gut and rhizosphere, is responsible for maintaining the health of human beings and plants, respectively. Within the complete microbiome a "core-microbiome" exists that ...

Bespoke physics for living technology.

In the physics of the natural world, basic tasks of life, such as homeostasis and reproduction, are extremely complex operations, requiring the coordination of billions of atoms even in simple cases. By contrast, artificial living organisms can be implemented in computers using relatively few bits, and copying a data structure is trivial. Of course, the physical overheads of the computers thems...
