Protein purification with light: innovative and more efficient than previous methods

By | March 5, 2025

Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method that uses physics, rather than the previously common chemistry, to obtain proteins. Using short-wavelength UV light, invisible to the human eye, they have succeeded in purifying proteins from cell extracts or cultures. This method is more efficient and gentler than previous methods. Proteins play a key role in… Read more »
