U6-S14. Quantitative studies of biomolecular interactions by calorimetric measurements (On-site) OUTSTANDING

Quantitative studies of biomolecular interactions by calorimetric measurements

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) is a thermodynamic technique that directly measures the heat released or absorbed during a biomolecular binding event (protein-small molecule, protein-protein, target-drug, enzyme-inhibitor, antibody-antigen, protein-DNA, protein-lipid, small molecule-small molecule). Measurement of this heat allows accurate determination of binding constants (KB), reaction stoichiometry (n), enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS), thereby providing a complete thermodynamic profile of the molecular interaction in a single experiment. Because ITC goes beyond binding affinities and can elucidate the mechanism of the molecular interaction, it has become the method of choice for characterizing biomolecular interactions.
The equipment used for this purpose is VP-ITC (GE HealthCare-Microcal).

Customer benefits

Applications range goes from drug design to fundamental research, such as understanding and regulating signal transduction pathways. These systems provide direct marker-free and in-solution measurement of binding affinity and thermodynamic parameters in a single experiment. They have high sensitivity, low sample consumption and automation options to minimise handling time.

Target customer

  • Biochemical and Pharmaceutical companies.
  • Biology and biochemistry research groups.

Proteins purification

The PPP Unit counts with a laboratory perfectly equipped for the purification of recombinant proteins. The protein purification procedure is carried out according the protein characteristics and customers‘ needs.
Design: identification of the most appropriate strategy for protein purification, given the physical and chemical properties, opting either for purification modules or, in the case of fusion proteins, elements which enable purification by affinity.
Protein purification: downstream processing using FPLC chromatography and/or tangential filtration either from the cellular pellet or the supernatant when the protein is secreted. When necessary, the purification is performed through solubilization of inclusion bodies or by purification under denaturing conditions with later refolding.
Final product: the purified protein is delivered in the buffer, temperature and the concentration requested by the costumer. When demanded, the protein can be delivered in lyophilised form.
Quality control: the purified recombinant protein is analysed in terms of molecular weight, purity by SDS-PAGE, aggregation by DLS and identification by Peptide-Mass Fingerprinting. Additional analysis can be performed under customer’s agreement such as buffer optimization (Microdyalisis) or freeze-thaw stability.

Customer benefits

The service is completely personalised to ensure that the final product matches the intended use in terms of format, purity and activity. We have various purification methodologies to address specific needs, offering a wide range of possibilities for obtaining the final product. All services adhere to standardised procedures, guaranteeing the quality of the end product. Thus, instead of offering a generic solution, we deliver a customised product with the exact specifications requested by the customer.

Bioproduction of proteins

The PPP Unit counts with a laboratory perfectly equipped for the bioproduction of recombinant proteins. The expression system is selected according to the protein characteristics and customer’s needs.
Transformation/transfection: the engineered construct is introduced inside the chosen expressing cells. In certain instances, involving insect expression, this step includes the isolation of a bacmid made for protein production via the baculovirus system.
Optimisation: selection of the optimal protein production conditions using small and medium-scale expression; confirmation of the protein expression using SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis and quantification by densitometry. At this step protein solubility/aggregation is measured to obtain the best solubilizing conditions.
Recombinant protein production: scale-up of the upstream processing by batch culture according to the best protein production conditions selected during the optimization step.

Customer benefits

The service is completely personalised to ensure that the protein matches the intended use for later protein purification. Thus, instead of offering a generic solution, we deliver a customised product with the exact specifications and needs requested by the customer.

Molecular Cloning (Biomolecules production)

Design: depending on the customers‘ needs and protein characteristics (size, modifications, etc.) we identify the most appropriate expression system for recombinant protein production selecting between Escherichia coli, insect cells (with expression systems based on transient expression or by infection with recombinant baculovirus ) and mammalian cells.
Cloning: the recombinant gene for the protein of interest, once optimised for codon usage, is cloned into the selected expression vector. When necessary, affinity purification tags, solubilizing tags and/or secreting signal peptides are incorporated into the design.
Sequencing: all constructs are sequenced to verify the accuracy of the gene sequence.

Customer benefits

The service is completely personalised to ensure that the final construct matches the intended use for later protein production in the chosen expression system and further purification. Thus, instead of offering a generic solution, we deliver a customised product with the exact specifications requested by the customer.
