DeNovX Completes Busy Week Including Site Visits at Stanford’s Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource and Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source

This past week, DeNovX conducted site visits, technology updates, and data collection with its strategic partners at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory and at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. DeNovX is developing a reproducible high throughput synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction workflow to support pharmaceutical development under a Phase II SBIR grant from the National Institutes of Health. The interdisciplinary team comprising chemists, physicists, engineers, and crystallographers has progressed through prototyping, reproducibility studies, and rigorous method qualification studies and is now demonstrating benefits that include rapid data collection requiring a fraction of the [...]

DeNovX and Collaborators from Argonne’s Biosciences Division Study Improved Nucleation Approaches for Serial Macromolecular Crystallography at the Advanced Photon Source

Thanks to an NIH Phase I SBIR award, DeNovX is expanding its collaboration with researchers at Argonne National Laboratory’s Biosciences Division to enhance protein crystal production for the Advanced Photon Source. Serial macromolecular crystallography for protein structure determination permits data collection on small and/or radiation sensitive crystals at room temperature using highly intense X-rays. Serial crystallography is increasingly used in structural biology, and DeNovX is focused on integrating the company’s engineered nucleation feature products into crystallization pipelines to generate more protein crystals at a faster rate in support of structure-based drug design.

Argonne’s Midwest Center for Structural Genomics Determines the Structure of a Siderophore Ferric-anguibactin-Binding protein (FatB) First Crystallized on DeNovX’s Engineered Nucleation Features

Thanks to a longstanding collaboration with Argonne’s Midwest Center for Structural Genomics and the Center for Structural Genomics of Infectious Diseases, the crystal structure of a siderophore binding protein FatB from Desulfitobacterium hafniense has been determined and deposited with the Protein Data Bank (7SF6). This protein was crystallized in the DeNovX laboratories during quantitative crystallization studies and multiple diffraction quality crystals were reproducibly formed on select engineered nucleation features while the control studies produced just a few poorly diffracting crystals. This novel crystallization and structure determination adds to the list of benefits of using DeNovX’s engineered nucleation features that include [...]

DeNovX Expands its Strategic Partnerships to Include the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, Operated by The University of Chicago

As part of a Phase II SBIR award from the National Institutes of Health to DeNovX, a strategic partnership has been formalized between DeNovX and the X-ray Sciences Division at Argonne National Laboratory, which is operated by The University of Chicago for the United States Department of Energy. The goal of this work is to improve the solubility and bioavailability of small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients and cocrystals by developing new high throughput screening discovery techniques that can fully leverage the analytical capabilities of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction.
