Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 16th Annual

Difficult-to-Express Proteins

May 11-12, 2021

 

What makes a protein ‘difficult’ to produce? CHI’s 16th Annual Difficult-to-Express Proteins conference examines the challenges encountered by researchers when striving for high-yield production of “difficult-to-express” proteins (DTEPs), and the strategies and technologies that have proven successful in overcoming those challenges. The Difficult-to-Express Proteins conference provides the latest developments in improving yield for DTEPs through case studies and breakthrough data.

 

Coverage will include, but is not limited to:

 

  • Taming difficult-to-express proteins
  • High-yield production of “difficult-to-express” proteins
  • Membrane proteins (GPCRs, ion channels, etc.)
  • Caspases
  • Proteases
  • Kinases
  • Genetic engineering
  • Gene expression
  • Translation
  • Secretion
  • Re-engineering
  • Physical properties
  • Amino acid sequence
  • Disulfide-rich proteins
  • Disulfide bond stability
  • Overcoming misfolding
  • Aggregation
  • Cryo-EM
  • Crystallization
  • Emerging tools & technologies
  • Achieving soluble protein
  • Tagged or fused proteins
  • To express in the cytoplasm, periplasm or extracellular in the medium?
