Utah State University (Logan, UT) has patented a method for the in vitro biosynthesis of proteins in native conformation by immobilizing on the surface of an affinity matrix at discrete locations a ligand for which the protein being synthesized has an affinity and adding to the reaction mixture said affinity matrix having said immobilized ligand so that each molecule that is in the process of folding into a functional protein molecule may bind an immobilized ligand and be kept separated from other protein molecules as the folding proceeds.
A protein molecule consists of one or more polypeptides.
DKFZ researchers led by Krammer and Karsten GEaA-low discovered the key regulator that is responsible for shifting the sensitive balance from vital to harmful amounts of reactive oxygen molecules and thus accelerating the ageing process: A protein molecule called TXNIP (thioredoxin-interacting protein).
