ASEBIO Report 2010
The most salient indicators include the almost 7% rise in the number of biotech R&D personnel employed and the over 5% growth in private R&D expenditure. In addition, companies carrying out biotechnology R&D grew 12%. Other output indicators are also noteworthy, such as the number of patent applications, which virtually doubled (up 85% in the past year). These indicators confirm the efficiency and strength of the national bioindustry sector.

Journal of Biomolecular Screening
Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has become a widely accepted tool that is complementary to high-throughput screening (HTS) in developing small-molecule inhibitors of pharmaceutical targets. Because a fragment campaign can only be as successful as the hit matter found, it is critical that the first stage of the process be optimized. Here the authors compare the 3 most commonly used methods for hit discovery in FBDD: high concentration screening (HCS), solution ligandobserved nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). They selected the commonly used
saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy and the proprietary target immobilized NMR screening (TINS) as representative of the array of possible NMR methods. Using a target typical of FBDD campaigns, the authors find that HCS and TINS are the most sensitive to weak interactions. They also find a good correlation between TINS and STD for tighter binding ligands, but the ability of STD to detect ligands with affinity weaker than 1 mM KD is limited. Similarly, they find that SPR detection is most suited to ligands that bind with KD better than 1 mM. However, the good correlation between SPR and potency in a bioassay makes this a good method for hit validation and characterization studies.

Target Immobilization and NMR Screening of Fragments in Early Drug Discovery
Using localized NMR spectroscopy on immobilized targets provides us with a method to simultaneously assess binding of small molecules to two different samples. This Target Immobilized NMR Screening (TINS) has a number of advantages, not least is the requirement for minimal quantities of non-isotopically labeled protein and the applicability to
insoluble or unstable targets. The technique is sensitive to binding with KD values in the range of 100 nM to 20 mM, while careful selection of the reference protein reduces the number of false positive hits. This combination ensures a maximal number of valid hits from which to select starting points for hit elaboration projects. Hits can be prioritized using
biological assays when appropriate, as well as an array of biophysical techniques. So far a variety of soluble proteins, including kinases, GTPases, viral targets and proteases, as well as a membrane protein, have been successfully screened against our fragment library. Here we illustrate our experiences with a number of examples which emphasize the
usefulness of the method in selecting and prioritizing fragment hits for elaboration towards leads.

HPLC Analysis of Fluorescently labelled N-Glycans
To enable the detection following separation of N-glycans by HPLC, the glycans are flourescently labelled with aryl amine compounds by reductive amination. The most commonly used flourescent label is 2-aminobenzamide (2AB), although 2-aminobenzoic acid (2-AA) and 2-aminopyride (2AP) are also used. The labelled glycans can then be analysed by a range of HPLC methods.

Rapid, High Capacity Evaporation Solutions for Sophisticated Fractionation Processes
In the quest to find novel flavor ingredients from nature, powerful equipment that can produce and concentrate fractions derived from natural extracts is essential. Conventionally, many steps of fractionation and evaluation are necessary until a compound is obtained at the purity required for structural analysis.

Automation Without Robotics: Elimination of Sample Transfer Steps to Optimise Yield and Data Quality in the Laboratory
Changing sample vessel format is an area of Discovery research that can cause problems: sample tracking, sample loss and robotic referencing are among the many drawbacks of having to perform a transfer step. Genevac set out to attempt to "automate" the transfer step within their evaporation systems and developed several concept designs.
