THE CHALLENGE

Drug discovery targeting multi-span membrane proteins is inherently difficult due to the notoriously low stability and high conformational flexibility of these target classes, especially when removed from the cellular environment. This intrinsic characteristic of membrane proteins has greatly limited the success of protein-based small molecule screening and structure-guided drug discovery, as well as antibody discovery efforts.

OUR SOLUTION

Abilita Bio offers a technical solution through the generation of Enabled Membrane Proteins (EMPs™) for use in drug discovery and development, including antibody discovery programs. Providing enhanced full-protein antigens for antibody discovery represents a unique market opportunity, minimally available today to the Pharmaceutical Industry.
