A Look Back

Dark Matter Blog

The only subject in school that held my interest was biology. As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. I wanted to use molecular biology to create drugs. My last stop at Arrakis Therapeutics is with a company targeting RNA with small molecules.

What is Protein Nitration? | BMG LABTECH

BMG Labtech

Detecting nitrated tyrosine residues in these assays presents challenges due to the complexities in accurately quantifying and identifying these specific modifications in proteins. In the highlighted study, the CLARIOstar Plus was used to detect peroxynitrite during phagocytosis with a small molecule sensor. The assay (Fig.

Toxic Proteins for Drug Discovery

Codon

While small-molecule drugs continue to play a critical role in modern medicine, we are witnessing a shift toward the increasing development of amino acid-based therapeutics. Toxic peptides and proteins, particularly from the venoms of animals, are predicted to be a major source of next-generation peptide and protein-based drugs.
