This technology provides a relatively rapid means of generating novel antigen-binding molecules that bind strongly to immobilized antigen.
Fatty acid-binding proteins are small cytosolic molecules that bind saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
Ellington, A. D. & Szostak, J. W. In vitro selection of RNA molecules that bind specific ligands.
Neuroligins are postsynaptic cell-adhesion molecules that bind to presynaptic neurexins.
To fight infections, some scientists hope to design or find molecules that bind to the bacterial sensors, blocking out the signaling molecules.
PC compounds are small molecules that bind into their protein targets and stabilize their native structures, helping mutated proteins to regain their biological function17,18.
A set of immune molecules that bind pathogen-derived antigens and display them on the surface of antigen-presenting cells to promote acquired immune responses.
Their glucose sensor is essentially a carbon nanotube-based transistor in which the never tubes are coated with pyrene-1-boronic acid molecules that bind to glucose.
These surfaces are defined empirically based on failure to identify small, drug-like molecules that bind to them with high affinity and specificity.
It works by combining high-resolution photography with specialized fluorescent molecules that bind to different proteins and glow in different colors.
It could also assist in the design and testing of new drug molecules that bind strongly or quickly to the target cell.
