Getting the most from your biosensor assays: Data analysis for GPCR discovery Join the DrGPCR Ecosystem today to attend this free workshop. Luciana Leo and Sam Hoare will show how you can use kinetic analysis to quantify the dynamics of GPCR signaling, arrestin...
Agilent BioTek Webinar: Biosensors for Cell Signaling
This webinar will highlight the technological tips and tricks to obtain high quality, high throughput kinetic data on BioTek plate readers, with biosensors for G-protein-coupled receptor second messengers and arrestin recruitment. It will also describe how to...
Differential Effects of GRK2 and GRK5 on Arrestin Recruitment Kinetics
Presented August 22nd at: The G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinases and Arrestins Conference: Key Modulators of Signal Transduction Although different GRK isoforms can enhance overall arrestin recruitment to specific GPCRs, the effect of each isoform on the kinetics of...
Environmental Impact of Basic Research
We’re happy to announce that we’ve partnered with One Tree Planted to plant trees! One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to global reforestation. They plant trees to restore nature and biodiversity. They also raise awareness about the importance of...
Olfactory GPCRs Upregulated in Cancer
The Sweet Smell of a NobelThirty years ago, Linda Buck and Richard Axel described a large family of genes that encode what appeared to be G-protein coupled receptors, or GPCRs. These genes were expressed in the olfactory epithelium, and encoded an...
A Rapid and Sensitive Approach to Detecting SARS-CoV-2
There is a race in this pandemic to develop new technologies to detect SAR-CoV-2 virus and defeat its spread as quickly as possible. A bright light in this race recently appeared in a new paper published by Nanoscale Advances that describes a simple,...
Measuring partial and biased agonism at GPCRs on the FDSS/μCell
Kinetic analysis to measure agonist bias Montana Molecular’s genetically-encoded, fluorescent biosensors detect multiple receptor-mediated signaling pathways in real-time, live-cell assays. The kinetics of the responses for each signaling pathway can be used to...
The Neuroscience of Nausea
Nausea is a sense of malaise that all of us know. The sensation can be so overpowering that it leads us to wonder how and why this wretched condition happens
SARS-CoV-2 Variant Pseudoviruses
At Montana Molecular, we are committed to developing validated tools and services to support COVID-19 drug discovery. 2nd generation pseudoviruses for SARS-CoV-2 variants are on the way. Emerging SARS CoV-2 VariantsIn the spring of 2020, Manaus Brazil, was...
