Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) found in a wide range of animal, insect, and plant species are
host defense peptides forming an integral part of their innate immunity. Although the exact …

Proteins are now widely produced in diverse microbial cell factories. The Escherichia coli is
still the dominant host for recombinant protein production but, as a bacterial cell, it also has …

Tags are frequently used in the expression of recombinant proteins to improve solubility and
for affinity purification. A large number of tags have been developed for protein production …

α-Helical membrane proteins fulfill many vital roles in all living cells and constitute the
majority of drug targets. However, their relevance is in no way paralleled by our current …

The Escherichia coli (E. coli) expression system has been widely used to produce
recombinant proteins. However, in some heterologous expressions, there are still difficulties …

Medical devices with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-modulating functionality are highly
desirable to restore tissue homeostasis in critical inflammation states, such as chronic …

The recent development of synthetic biology has expanded the capability to design and
construct protein networks outside of living cells from the bottom-up. The new capability has …

While the advent of modern analytical technology has allowed scientists to determine the
complexity of mixtures, it also spurred the demand to understand these sophisticated …

Solid-state NMR is a powerful tool to measure distances and motional order parameters
which are vital tools in characterizing the structure and dynamics of molecules. Magic-angle …

One of the main bottlenecks for recombinant peptide production is choosing the proper
cleavage method to remove fusion protein tags from target peptides. While these tags are …
