De Novo Design of Allosterically Switchable Protein Assemblies

Designing nanodevices that can change shape and function in response to molecular signals is a key objective in protein design, paving the way for the development of switchable nanomaterials, triggerable drug-delivery systems, and molecular motors. In this talk, I will present recent progress in designing and characterizing a diverse range of switchable protein assemblies.

Evaluating Analytical Strategies to Quantify Capsid Titre: Towards a Platform-Method Approach to Accelerate AAV Drug Product Development

Traditional capsid titre methods rely on ELISA which commonly suffers from long turnaround times, low throughput, and large volume sample requirements. This limits the application of ELISA-based methods to routine analysis, thus requiring development of alternative high-throughput (HTP) capsid titre methods. We have performed a comprehensive assessment on currently available orthogonal capsid titre methods using […]

Teach Me in 10: Accelerating Cell and Gene Therapy Development

In this 10-minute session, we’ll show you how mass photometry is transforming AAV production with fast, reproducible measurements that use minimal sample at less than $5 per measurement. Mass photometry is also highly user-friendly, with a benchtop instrument that make it perfect for in-house use, cutting reliance on external facilities and boosting research efficiency without […]

Characterizing oligomerization dynamics of a ubiquitin ligase using mass photometry

This webcast will demonstrate harnessing the power of mass photometry to analyze the oligomeric state of the DCAF15–DDA1–DDB1 E3 ligase at low nanomolar concentrations. This study revealed, for the first time, the formation of dimers and trimers with quantified dissociation constants. The oligomeric remodelling effect emphasized the transition from trimer to monomer upon molecular glue […]

Mass photometry to study the oligomerization of HACE1

Protein ubiquitination is a versatile post-translational modification that orchestrates many cellular pathways. Ubiquitin ligases are key specificity factors in this system. The HECT-type ubiquitin ligase HACE1 controls membrane dynamics and redox homeostasis by mechanisms that are still poorly understood at a structural level.
