Company Profile for Protelica.Protelica is a proven pioneer in the field of high-throughput protein engineering and optimization. Building upon our extensive patented technology, we're applying the latest advances in evolutionary mutagenesis mutagenesis /mu·ta·gen·e·sis/ (mu?tah-jen´e-sis) 1. the production of change. 2. the induction of genetic mutation. mu·ta·gen·e·sis n. pl. to develop therapeutics therapeutics Treatment and care to combat disease or alleviate pain or injury. Its tools include drugs, surgery, radiation therapy, mechanical devices, diet, and psychiatry. that address critical, unmet un·met adj. Not satisfied or fulfilled: unmet demands. medical needs. Our principal focus is to develop superior next generation, protein-based therapeutics including hormones, cytokines Cytokines Chemicals made by the cells that act on other cells to stimulate or inhibit their function. Cytokines that stimulate growth are called "growth factors. and enzymes. We utilize targeted, site-directed mutagenesis Site-directed mutagenesis is a molecular biology technique in which a mutation is created at a defined site in a DNA molecule, usually a circular molecule known as a plasmid. In general, site-directed mutagenesis requires that the wild-type gene sequence be known. , systematically mapping the most important residues for inclusion in combinatorial mutagenesis, resulting in identification of the best candidates. Protelica's patented technology platform is based on Dr. Roberto Crea's Walk-Through Mutagenesis[TM] and Look-Through Mutagenesis[TM], which accelerate protein evolution. We're able to generate and screen diverse libraries of high information and sequence space by integrating these mutagenesis technologies with a proprietary bioinformatics knowledge database of structure/function relationships, computational homology homology (hōmŏl`əjē), in biology, the correspondence between structures of different species that is attributable to their evolutionary descent from a common ancestor. and biological relevance.
