Purifying proteins: Rensselaer researchers use NMR to improve drug development

Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 08:21 in Biology & Nature

The purification of drug components is a large hurdle facing modern drug development. This is particularly true of drugs that utilise proteins, which are notoriously difficult to separate from other potentially deadly impurities. Scientists within the Centre for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies (CBIS) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to understand and improve an important protein purification process...
