Glycobiology studies the role and function of carbohydrates in . It studies the function and structure of glycans. These saccharides attract a range of biological molecules through a process known as glycosylation. Glycomics is the pathologic, physiologic, and genetic study of glycomes. This branch of science plays crucial role in development of new drugs, proteomics research, and bacterial physiological analysis.
Label-free Screening Assays for Drug Discovery
In 2017, a Masachusetts-based company, Bruker Corporation announced the launch of MALDI PharmaPulse 2.0 (MPP 2.0) solution. Its advanced laser scanning technology can enhance automation capacity of mass spectrometers. It can help in finding label-free, uHTS (ultra High Throughput Screening) assay that are crucial in drug discovery.
This machine can integrate the required speed of scanning through intricate libraries of different substances with the directness of mass spectrometry. Thereby, allowing mass spectrometry to provide original substrates in the first screening itself. This can prevent false positive or negative results.
The system is made for an automatic treatment of 1536 sample plates to monitor over a million compounds a week. It can save the cost of antibody development. This machine utilizes the company’s patented “Smartbeam 3D laser technology” for speed and direct-detection capability of the mass spectrometry. It can measure nearly 10 samples per second.
