- *Abstract
-
Northwestern researchers have developed a cortical synaptosome plasma membrane proteome library and a high throughput screening method for determination of novel ligand receptors and receptors antagonist.
Ligand-receptor interaction studies are not easy to study on cell-free systems; and membrane proteins difficult to isolate and study without losing their native properties. Northwestern researchers have successfully applied Nanodisc technology, isolating the plasma membrane proteome from a rat cortical synaptic cell line, conferring a unique material to study hundreds or thousands of isolated membrane proteins on a cell-free system.
Northwestern researchers have successfully applied this technology to study ADDLs interaction with its receptors and the detection of antagonists able to block these interactions.
