Happy Birthday Mark Abbott!
Mark wanted a low key birthday but we managed to surprise him with a cake and we think we were fairly subtle about his age too!

Guilty As ‘Charged’ – Identifying the Protein Using Mass Spectrometry.
At Peak Proteins we routinely use protein mass spectrometry methods to fully characterise and understand the proteins we have produced in our protein expression systems. So why do we do this and what additional information do we gain, in [...]
Dr Hazel Weir is Looking Forward to Attending SLAS 2020
Dr Hazel Weir is attending SLAS 2020. As new members of the Society, Peak Proteins is looking forward to making new connections with biotechnology companies located in the West Coast. SLAS 2020 is being held at the San Diego Convention [...]
Producing Crystalline Protein-Ligand Complexes: Every Beautiful Partnership Starts with the Introduction.
Why do it? X-ray crystallography of protein-ligand complexes is frequently used during the drug discovery process to determine the molecular details of binding between the chemical entity of interest (ligand) and the target protein. This information can be very [...]
Peak Proteins Signs Agreement with University of Leeds to Access Cryo-EM Facilities.
Peak Proteins is now in a position where, in collaboration with the University of Leeds, we would be able to talk about cryo-EM approaches with clients having entered into an agreement with the University to access their state-of-the-art cryo-EM facilities [...]

How Was the Structure of G6b-B Determined?
Our journey started, as it often does, with an X-ray crystallography project which looked as if it might be relatively straightforward. The target in question was the extracellular domain (ECD) of G6b-B, a unique platelet receptor highly expressed in [...]
