Berkeley Lab invention could lead to dramatic improvements in applications from drug development to bioimaging

ProteomeTools scientists report on the synthesis of a library of more than 330,000 reference peptides

Computational protocol may one day enable drug developers to craft novel, therapeutic peptides that precisely target specific disease-causing molecules within the body

The study of protein function is necessary for understanding the molecular basis of disease

Work could lead to new ways to address chronic pain and other conditions where the sense of touch goes haywire

Listeriosis is 20 times more common in pregnant women than in non-pregnant adults and occurs more frequently in those with lowered immunity, such as cancer and transplant patients, newborns, and the elderly

The findings may settle a fundamental question in molecular biology and could help scientists develop new therapies for diseases such as cancer where abnormal amounts of protein accumulate

Drugs are perishable and some require refrigeration, which can be difficult to provide in the world’s poorest regions
