Large-scale Characterization of Drug Candidates Against Transmembrane Receptors using HT-SPR

We know that membrane protein, a class of proteins that are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes to enable extracellular and intracellular spanning, occupies a place in the field of 'non-pharmacological' therapeutics. Many human diseases may be associated with abnormal receptor function, and the multifunctional nature of receptors makes them ideal targets for drug action. However, multi-pass receptors are structurally complex and often expressed at extremely low levels in the host cell. The use of high-quality, full-length transmembrane receptors is therefore essential for the accurate characterization of drug candidates. High-throughput surface plasmon resonance (HT-SPR) is a powerful technique that is transforming the characterization workflow, enabling greater breadth and depth of information on up to thousands of drug candidates.

Three membrane receptor formats used for large-scale characterization of antibody candidates


Here, ACROBiosystem and carterra collaborated to demonstrate a powerful technique for exploring the binding of drug candidates to membrane receptors using HT-SPR. Following the membrane receptor evaluations to confirm purity, structure, and bioactivity, HT-SPR can be performed with confidence to screen drug candidates. And the HT-SPR scale characterization technique is effective in reducing activity loss and the characterization method can be applied to any drug form, thus making possible the scale characterization of thousands of drug candidates across membrane receptors.
