Protein Production and Assay Development

Reaction Biology can assist you with producing proteins and assays for various target classes such as kinases, epigenetics, PARPs, DUB, HSP, protease, phosphatase, and many more. Our expertise comprises producing proteins and multimeric protein complexes for expression in E. coli and insect cells. Our outstanding assay development teams enable drug testing in custom-tailored biochemical, cellular, biophysical, and electrophysiologic assay formats.

Our services comprise:

Small or large scale custom-tailored protein production
Assay development and optimization/validation
Enzyme testing, substrate testing, and activator/inhibitor testing

Our scientists have created more than 2200 assays over the last 20 years, including the successful completion of challenging projects. Please reach out to the business development manager in your area today to discuss how we can assist your protein production and assay development needs.
