High-performance affinity beads for identifiying drug receptors
Article Abstract:
Researchers create novel latex beads which "minimize nonspecific protein binding" and "maximize purification efficiency", leading to drug receptor identification through affinity purification. The beads might be used in developing new pharmaceuticals.
