New trends in DNA-encoded library screening

Drug Discovery World

Matthew Clark , CEO of X-Chem, looks at what the future could hold for DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology. In the 13 years since it was first described, DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology has become a firmly established approach to small molecule hit generation in drug discovery. ACS Comb Sci (2015).

Reinventing the small molecule toolbox: from proteins to RNA

Dark Matter Blog

Prior to 2015, I had a casual relationship, at best, with targeting RNA. The bulk of my nearly three decades of experience up to that point was with drugging protein targets using a variety of modalities, but principally small molecules. Screening to Set a Course Screening brings its own challenges.

Driving Toward Nanopores

Codon

And unlike traditional DNA sequencers, which parse genetic material by breaking it up into fragments and interpreting it chunk-by-chunk, a nanopore device unspools a long strand of DNA and reads it all at once. A scientist can isolate DNA and load up a flow cell in fifteen minutes. Nanopore devices work incredibly fast.

Antibody-drug conjugates payloads: then, now and next

Drug Target Review

2 In response, DNA-damaging agents that could target the entire cell cycle received renewed attention as ADC payloads. Groundbreaking strategies like proteolysis-targeting chimeric molecules (PROTACs) are also being explored. 4 But the horizon of ADCs is expanding even further, with the design of complex payloads.

Making Cells Young

Codon

Most cells (excluding T-cells and B cells after V(D)J recombination) in our body contain the same DNA but appear and behave in distinct ways: A neuron looks and acts very differently from a hepatocyte. While DNA is relatively stable , the epigenome is not; it has to orchestrate changes in cell state, cell type, and more.

Announcing the first biopharma IPNFT Transaction

Molecule Blog

This program focuses on testing and developing three of these small molecules as possible interventions in ageing. These molecules target the longevity field with the aim of letting everyone live healthier, happier and longer lives. He now runs one of the largest research programmes in Europe focusing on aging.
