Membrane proteins remain among the most challenging classes of proteins in structural biology. Despite their pharmaceutical relevance, only a fraction has been structurally characterized. Cryo-EM has revolutionized this field, yet membrane protein sample prep remains a bottleneck. In this webinar, Dr. Philipp Hanisch (Head of Laboratory, Cube Biotech) and Dr. Ping Zhang (Senior Application Scientist, NanoTemper) explore a comprehensive, data-driven workflow—rooted in real-world results—combining the NativeMP platform with Prometheus Panta. Together, they discuss how advanced solubilization and biophysical screening strategies can make or break your structure.
