2002 SEP 25 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Plexus Vaccine, Inc., has signed a technology development agreement with GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK Bio) to explore novel approaches for structure-based rational vaccine design.

As part of the funded research collaboration, Plexus Vaccine will design chimeric miniproteins that faithfully identify and mimic the structural features of critical functional domains on target pathogenic proteins, using its proprietary structure-based vaccine design methods, and incorporating ICM molecular modeling technology from its strategic partner Molsoft, LLC.

Computational approaches include fast and accurate homology modeling, energy based loop optimization algorithms and protein surface modeling tools. Vaccine miniproteins will be designed to induce antibodies capable of highly selective binding to the target proteins, thus disrupting the pathogenic pathway. ...
