Applications include drug development, enzyme production and diagnostics, offering a cost-effective solution for protein production for industry.
Aiming to address this, researchers at Oulu University have developed a plasmid-based system with protein folding catalysts that enables active protein production in bacterial cytoplasm. This innovation eliminates the need for refolding, works with any E. coli strains, and provides significant increases in protein yields. Applications include drug development, enzyme production and diagnostics, offering a cost-effective solution for protein production for industry. The team at Oulu University are seeking licensing and co-development partners.
