Did you know that cholesterol is absolutely vital for our cells and a very popular ingredient in a wide range of cosmetics? Did you also know that cholesterol is animal derived, and naturally produced vegan cholesterol is painfully missing on the market? Let’s change that with acib’s cholesterol-producing yeast!
Europe’s Green Deal largely depends on lithium imports, but there are environmental concerns against mining in Europe. What if there would be a green, environmentally-friendly ‘bio-mining’ alternative for Europe?
Did you know that C-nucleosides are essential constituents of modern mRNA vaccines? Were you aware that, up until now, there have been limited options for efficient chemical syntheses? acib changed all that with its recent work (published in Nat.Commun).
Lipids are essential structural components of cellular membranes. These membranes confer the ability to separate living entities from their surrounds. However, lipids have many more highly relevant functions, including energy storage, transport and signaling.
Qualitative LC – MS (/MS) analysis is the method of choice for quality control of proteins. We use high resolution mass spectrometers to identify intact protein masses and peptide fragment fingerprints to determine the amino acid sequence and its modification(s).
Carbon-carbon bonds ultimately made the emergence of life on earth possible, but they can also bring life to new reactions, leading to many valuable molecules…Let us show you, what they can do!
Glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is the main endogenous, cellular, thiol-based antioxidant existing in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms. In healthy cells, the ratio of GSH:GSSG is actively kept higher than 100:1 but different stress-conditions can affect this balance thus it can be used as a readout of cellular redox state.
Knowledge of key biosynthetic steps and bottlenecks is a prerequisite for effective metabolic engineering of production strains. Not only the immediate biosynthetic precursors but also the general energetic and oxidative state of the production host can significantly influence achievable yields and quality of bioproducts.
LC – MS (/MS) analysis is the method of choice for proteomics. We use high resolution mass spectrometers to identify and relatively quantify thousands of proteins and their modification(s) and then perform statistic and bioinformatic analyses to determine differentially regulated proteins and pathways.
