Purifying proteins: Researchers use NMR to improve drug development

Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 15:14 in Physics & Chemistry

The purification of drug components is a large hurdle facing modern drug development. This is particularly true of drugs that utilize proteins, which are notoriously difficult to separate from other potentially deadly impurities. Scientists are using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to understand and improve an important protein purification process.
