MoBiTec GmbH

MoBiTec GmbH, Germany, supplier of research tools, introduces a collection of Nuclear Receptor-Ligand Binding Domain fusion proteins, carrying a GST tag, capable to bind a Europium-anti-GST antibody. With this the influence of fluorophore-labeled peptides on the ligand binding characteristics can be studied. E.g. the addition of a particular peptide might prevent the receptor from binding a ligand, thereby eliminating a response of a cell to a given stimulus. - August 17, 2011

Based on its already successful protein expression systems for Bacillus megaterium, MoBiTec GmbH introduces a new family of protein expression vectors, the hp-Expression Systems, for high yield expression in the well-established GRAS organism Bacillus megaterium. This new system complements the existing non-E. coli expression systems for B. megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Lactococcus lactis and yeast. Further non-E. coli expression systems are in preparation. - June 09, 2011

The Green-to-Red switchable, photochromic Fluorescent Protein „EosFP“ offers advantageous applications in Molecular Cell Biology, and is now available through the German biotech company MoBiTec GmbH. With violet light, single cells in an EosFP marked (green) cell population can be switched to red, so that their fate can be followed selectively, for example in embryonic cell differentiation. Alternatively, a particular compartment within an EosFP marked (green) cell can be switched to red. - March 25, 2009

NIZO food research has developed a Gram positive gene expression system making use of Lactococcus lactis and its regulation mechanism for the production of the antibiotic peptide nisin, the NIsin Controlled gene Expression system (NICE). The NICE system is already used as a dedicated expression system by many labs all around the world. With NICE, MoBiTec expands its rich portfolio of non-E. coli based expression systems. - March 15, 2009
