There has been tremendous interest from delegates, poster presenters and exhibitors, following the announcement by ELRIG (the European Laboratory Robotics Interest Group) who will be hosting a unique, 2 day conference entitled ‘Advances in Recombinant Protein Technologies – towards redesigned synthetic systems’. The seminar is free and will be held at Astra Zeneca R&D’s Alderly Park Site on 19th and 20th November with a strict limit of 220 attendees.

A collaboration between Manchester University, Astra Zeneca R&D and ELRIG, the two day conference will focus on a range of highly significant topics including; the biology of host cells in terms of competencies for protein expression, structural features associated with success of expression of specific proteins, plus the relationships between specific proteins and host cells. It will also include how both host cell and desired proteins may be engineered to generate new synthetic systems for enhanced product expression.

The conference brings together leading speakers and delegates from academia and industry working on eukaryotic cells as protein expression hosts. It will address our fundamental understanding about molecular events which determine productivity and quality attributes in the use of specific cell hosts for specific protein product categories.

As well as a full line up of speakers, the conference also includes a poster session and full exhibition where delegates will be able to interact with vendors and scientists in an informal setting.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.

Produce recombinant proteins with expression vectors in combination with a host cell suitable for high-level protein expression. For production of toxic proteins, consider cell-free expression vectors. Create and monitor post-translational modifications with protein modification kits.

Understanding protein structure is key in drug discovery, enzymology, and molecular biology.
