The facility has the capabilities to assist researchers in moving their project from protein expression to biophysical characterization to protein crystallization. We also assist in cell culture, protein production and purification, and macromolecular characterization through a number of techniques. Nanobodies are produced in alpacas through the facility.
The Protein Production Facility provides services that include: protein production in bacteria, yeast or insect cells, protein purification, and biophysical characterization of proteins.
Through resources provided by the NIGMS, the University of Kentucky’s Protein Production Facility is now producing single domain antibodies in alpacas for investigators.
