The present disclosure provides a system comprising a communication interface and computer for assigning a label to the biomolecule fingerprint, wherein the label corresponds to a biological state. The present disclosure also provides a sensor arrays for detecting biomolecules and methods of use. In some embodiments, the sensor arrays are capable of determining a disease state in a subject.

Compounds that may selectively inhibit Oplophorus luciferase-derived bioluminescent complexes, e.g., NanoBiT? bioluminescent complex, are disclosed as well as compositions and kits comprising the compounds, and methods of using the compounds.

Disclosed are phosphonate-containing trifunctional crosslinkers and methods for synthesizing same. The invention further pertains to using the trifunctional crosslinkers in methods for crosslinking, purifying, and characterizing biomolecules such as peptides, proteins and polynucleotides.

Described are methods related to a newly discovered alternative conformation of the SARS COV 2 Spike protein.

The present disclosure relates to compositions of matter and assay methods used to screen for molecular dimerization events using a two-ribonucleoprotein complex signal boost assay. The compositions and methods provide a readout upon detection of dimerization of molecules and may be implemented in a high throughput manner using libraries of tens to hundreds to thousands of putative binding partners.

Methods for identification of exchangeable MHC binding peptides are provided herein. Their use in proto-antigen-presenting surfaces and related kits, methods, and uses are also described. The proto-antigen-presenting surface can comprise a plurality of primary activating molecular ligands comprising a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule configured to bind to a T cell receptor (TCR) of a T cell and a plurality of co-activating molecular ligands each including a TCR co-activating molecule or an adjunct TCR activating molecule, wherein an initial peptide is bound to the MHC molecules. Proto-antigen-presenting surfaces can be used to rapidly prepare antigen-presenting surfaces comprising one or more peptide antigens of interest by contacting the proto-antigen-presenting surface in the presence of an exchange factor and with one or more peptide antigens so as to displace the initial peptide. Methods of identifying suitable initial peptides having affinity for the MHC as well as being capable of displacement by an antigenic peptide are described.

A biological sample processing apparatus having an enclosure. A plurality of sample processing modules are held by the enclosure. Each sample processing module is configured to hold a removable sample cartridge and to only perform sample processing on a sample within the corresponding removable sample cartridge. Each sample processing module is configured to perform at least one of a plurality of testing processes on the sample within the removable sample cartridge. At least one module in the apparatus is configured to perform nucleic acid amplification and detection.

Disclosed herein are polynucleotides encoding ligand-inducible gene switch polypeptides, and systems comprising gene switch polypeptides for modulating the expression of a heterologous gene and an interleukin in a host cell. The compositions, methods and systems described herein facilitate ligand dependent expression of polypeptides including but not limited to cytokines and antigen binding polypeptides.

It has been demonstrated that certain compounds bind to TNF and stabilise a conformation of trimeric TNF that binds to the TNF receptor. Antibodies which selectively bind to complexes of such compounds with TNF superfamily members are disclosed. These antibodies may be used to detect further compounds with the same activity, and as target engagement biomarker.
