Description
Check out a short video on this report:
Unique and innovative methods are being developed for membrane protein extraction, characterization, and structure determination of biologically significant membrane proteins, opening doors in the membrane structural biology market. Scientists are applying techniques such as in silico computational analysis, isoelectric focusing, one and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS) to better understand the structure and functional interactions of cellular membrane proteins, leading to the design of more effective therapeutics for many human diseases. The growing number of platforms, products and tools offered by niche membrane biology companies, and major life science companies are drawing in more and more researchers previously restricted to studying soluble proteins.
