DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF RECOMBINANT PLASMID CONSTRUCTS FOR PROTEIN EXPRESSION
In order to design and assemble ad hoc combinations of DNA precursors in silico and then in the laboratory to build recombinant plasmid constructs capable of directing expression of a recombinant protein, several steps and considerations need to be taken…
MECHANISMS OF INHIBITION AND APPLICATIONS TO STRUCTURE-BASED DRUG DESIGN AND DRUG DISCOVERY
In the field of pharmaceutical chemical biology, understanding the mechanisms of inhibition is crucial for the development of effective drugs. Inhibition refers to the process by which a molecule, typically a drug or inhibitor, binds to a target molecule, such…
