Protea Extends Collaboration with Protein Metrics

Protea Biosciences Group has announced that the company has signed a renewal of its collaboration with California-based Protein Metrics Inc. for further applications development of their advanced analytical software for Protea’s molecular information services.

“By combining our high-resolution mass spectrometry molecular data with the analytical power of Protein Metrics software, we are delivering more comprehensive molecular information to researchers who are developing complex biotherapeutics,” commented David Halverson, Protea’s President and Chief Business Officer.  He added, “This collaboration will empower researchers with bioinformatics tools to facilitate the analysis of the structure of therapeutic proteins, including their disulfide linkages, glycoforms and other structural components.” 

Protea and Protein Metrics plan to create co-authored presentations this year to highlight the benefit of the combined analytical workflows with data processing and reporting capabilities. 

Eric Carlson, President and CEO of Protein Metrics, commented “We are delighted to renew our partnership with Protea Biosciences.  It’s exciting to contribute to the quality analysis and reports that Protea provides to their many clients.  Thanks to the input from Protea during the first stage of our collaboration, our latest releases include many new features that allow analysts to review all of their data on a common platform and share it with collaborators and customers in a clear, consistent fashion.”
