New research could eventually lead to a quicker and easier way of developing protein-based drugs that are key to treating a number of diseases, including cancer, diabetes and hepatitis. Scientists used nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to examine protein aggregations, or inclusion bodies, in genetically modified Escherichia coli. This research could help find a way to more easily extract usable protein for use in pharmaceuticals and research.
