A fresh inspirational protein stabilization technique has been developed by scientists and is been funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) which lead to 30 percent more proteins being available as possible targets for drug development-releasing exciting possibilities in drug discovery. In order to develop a new drug, one should understand the structure of protein, as it has an essential role to play, but till date, drug development is a slow process because of its instability. Dealing with protein is considered as a difficult task because of its instability under lab conditions. However, with the advent of nanoparticles, the researchers and scientists from Birmingham and Warwick University have shown a proper way to preserve membrane proteins intact, enabling detailed analysis of their structure and molecular function.
