TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: SmartBind pH Switch

ibody purification safer, more efficient, and less damaging. The Challenge: Purifying antibodies � vital tools in medicine and research � typically relies on a protein called Protein G that latches onto them. However, getting the antibodies back off this molecular �magnet� requires very acidic condi

tions, which can damage both the antibodies and Protein G itself. This harsh process risks ruining expensive materials and reducing the effectiveness of critical therapies and tests. Problems Solved: Researchers engineered a pH-switchable v
