Specialised Polymer Tools for Drug Target Identification
Overview of innovation
Nanosene (Pty) Ltd‘s technology centres around the development of polymer tools tailored for membrane proteins (MP) drug target research. Unlike existing solutions, Nanosene’s polymers are optimised to isolate MPs, with the added benefit of customisation possibilities. This technology enables the creation of nanoscale discs that encapsulate MPs, facilitating the study of MPs, and providing researchers with unprecedented access to biologically active proteins previously unattainable through traditional methods.
Overall, the technology provides a more effective and reliable method for isolating and analysing MPs, which is crucial for biological research and drug development
