LP3 has been granted beamtime at the X-ray macromolecular crystallography beamline of MAX IV, BioMAX. This allows users to have their crystals rapidly evaluated for diffraction. With funding from BioCARE (a governmental supported strategic research area in cancer (external website)) the Lund Protein Production Platform, LP3, can also offer the possibility to process data and solve structures.

The Lund Protein Production Platform is one of several protein production facilities in Sweden that form the Protein Production Network Sweden (PPNS), each with its own specialties and focus. PPNS is an informal network formed in 2013 between protein production facilities at Swedish universities. The overall aim is to make competence and protein production methodologies available to the Swedish ac

Right now LP3 is in the process of establishing the Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS) – a system for expression of recombinant proteins in insect cells. This system will complement the current LP3 capabilities to express proteins in bacteria and yeast. The BEVS, being a eukaryotic expression system, has its strength in producing proteins from higher eukaryotic organisms that have failed

Under den pågående CoViD-19 pandemin har förståelsen för virusets proteiner varit en central del i forskningen om SARS-CoV-2, eftersom det är genom proteinkontakter som viruset invaderar människans celler. På flera universitet i Sverige finns faciliteter som producerar proteiner för olika forskningsprojekt och som ingår i ett nätverk kallat Protein Produktion Sverige (PPS). PPS har genom sitt nati

By fragment screening using x-ray crystallography we identified four ligands revealing ligand-binding sites in conserved interfaces between SARS-CoV-2 nsp10 and nsp14/nsp16. The nsp14/10 interaction is weak and therefore could be disrupted by small molecules. In a collaborative effort, the Lund Protein Production Platform (LP3), the FragMAX platform at the BioMAX beamline of the MAX IV laboratory,

The new protein production platform will start in the beginning 2022 and is a co-operation between five Swedish universities. A new nationally distributed infrastructure - Protein Production Sweden or Proteinproduktion Sverige (PPS) in Swedish, will start up in the beginning of 2022. This is made possible thanks to a five-year-grant (until 2026) from the Swedish Research Council. Together, five un
