As a follow-up on the Pandemics and alertness (PandA) kick-off meeting, the PandA theme leader Wolfgang Knecht, also director at LP3, was interviewed. PandA aims to create a network of virologists, researchers, and beamline scientists with ability to leverage X-ray and neutron techniques to prepare for - and combat - major virus outbreaks and pandemics. Find the interview with more information abo

An international collaboration between the Lund Protein Production Platform (LP3), the UCL School of Pharmacy and ESS, through its DEMAX platform, has initiated biophysical and structural studies of three non-structural proteins from the novel coronavirus, SARS CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. Recently we managed to solve the structure of one of these proteins, Nsp10, by using the BioMAX be

The baculovirus-insect cell expression system has become one of the most widely used eukaryotic expression systems for heterologous protein production in many laboratories. To date, limited data has been presented in the literature to benchmark the protocols used for baculovirus vectors, and this study facilitates the selection of a system for optimal production of target proteins. The benchmarkin

Under den pågående CoViD-19 pandemin har förståelsen för virusets proteiner varit en central del i forskningen om SARS-CoV-2, eftersom det är genom proteinkontakter som viruset invaderar människans celler. På flera universitet i Sverige finns faciliteter som producerar proteiner för olika forskningsprojekt och som ingår i ett nätverk kallat Protein Produktion Sverige (PPS). PPS har genom sitt nati

By fragment screening using x-ray crystallography we identified four ligands revealing ligand-binding sites in conserved interfaces between SARS-CoV-2 nsp10 and nsp14/nsp16. The nsp14/10 interaction is weak and therefore could be disrupted by small molecules. In a collaborative effort, the Lund Protein Production Platform (LP3), the FragMAX platform at the BioMAX beamline of the MAX IV laboratory,
