The biotechnology revolution: implications for the pharmaceutical industry
Until recently, many of the larger pharmaceutical companies were exclusively responsible for the discovery of novel treatments through the efforts of their own in-house research. However, the arrival of biotechnology was to change these traditional patterns of innovation. Today, pharmaceutical manufacturers no longer view themselves as the sole innovators in the industry. Rather, they are ...

Application of Flow Cytometry in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Flow cytometry (FC) is an important tool for analyzing complex pathways and responses of single cells, which can track cell phenotypes and functions in multiple dimensions. It is also increasingly applied in drug development. FC not only can detect intracellular and extracellular components, but also detect soluble analytes in serum or plasma samples, such as cytokines, drug complexes, or ...

The Significance of Post-Translational Modification in Pharmaceutical Industry
Post-translational modification (PTM) is the covalent and generally enzymatic modification of proteins following protein biosynthesis. PTMs can alter the physicochemical properties of the peptide by changing the electrostatic charge, hydrophilicity, and conformation, thereby modulating their ability to specifically bind to the protein of interest. And PTM can also regulate protein folding, target ...
