Press release - 06/05/2024 Research under high pressure Why 3,000 bars are needed to take a comprehensive look at a protein: Konstanz researchers Frederic Berner and Michael Kovermann present a new high-pressure spectroscopy method to unravel the properties of proteins' native structures.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/research-under-high-pressure
Press release - 03/09/2024 NMR Spectroscopy: A Faster Way to Determine the “Sense of Rotation” of Molecules Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Voxalytic GmbH developed a new method that allows, for the first time, to elucidate the chiral structure of molecules – the exact spatial arrangement of the atoms – by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This important step in the development of new drugs used to be a time-consuming process until now. https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/nmr-spectroscopy-faster-way-determine-sense-rotation-molecules
Press release - 22/08/2024 Validated targets for personalized cancer immunotherapy Knowledge of the target structures for the immune cells is a basic prerequisite for the development of personalized cancer immunotherapies. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center and the NCT Heidelberg are publishing a sensitive method based on mass spectroscopy to identify such tumor-specific "neoepitopes". The analytical method is designed to detect these low abundance protein fragments and requires minimal amounts of…https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/validated-targets-personalized-cancer-immunotherapy
