BioAscent and Exscientia publication builds on high-throughput screen to identify novel allosteric compounds
A team at Exscientia , in collaboration with BioAscent, has published a paper entitled "Application of particle swarm optimisation to understand the mechanism of action of allosteric inhibitors of the enzyme HSD17β13". The publication builds on the challenging assay for the enzyme and subsequent high-throughput screen performed in collaboration with Exscientia.
SPR in academia and industry
BioAscent continues to experience a growing demand for its SPR expertise, and in her latest blog, Dominika Kowalczyk, PhD , shares her reflections and experiences of SPR use in industry compared to academia.
GPCR Expertise
Working with our colleagues at the Medicines Discovery Catapult , we have developed and characterised label-free assays using dynamic mass redistribution and impedance technology to study the pharmacology of the mas-related GPCR family member D (MRGPRD) receptor and compared this with a traditional high throughput intracellular calcium release assay. Our data suggests important differences in receptor coupling and the behaviour of tool compounds when two different readouts of activity were measured in the same cell background, suggesting ligand-dependent coupling of the MRGPRD.
