Peptide Drug Discovery Core

Oak Crest’s internal peptide drug discovery core is focused a wide range of medicines, ranging from the treatment of drug-resistant fungal infections to autoimmune disorders. The discovery efforts interface heavily with the Micro & Molecular Biology Laboratory and the Chromatography core, and include the following equipment and instrumentation as part of an automated synthesis workflow:

  • Biotage Initiator+ Alstra automated peptide synthesizer

  • Biotage Syro multiplexed (parallel) peptide synthesizer for Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis
  • Biotage Isolera flash chromatography system (2 systems)

  • Biotage V10 rapid solvent evaporator (2 systems)
  • A preparative-scale HPLC system is available for further peptide purification
  • OLIS DSM 20 circular dichroism spectrometer
  • Reichert SR700DC dual-channel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system
