Electro-Biotechnology
BEST-Bio is a leading electrochemistry service provider to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries focused on the application of electrochemical oxidation to drug discovery and drug/xenobiotic metabolite characterization.
Our services in this space include:
  • Phase 1 Metabolism Studies - Using electrochemical oxidation to mimic Phase 1 oxidation reactions in metabolism. This has the advantage over microsomes and cytochrome P450 because metabolites can be determined without the need for sample extraction or matrix removal.
  • Phase 2 Metabolism Studies - Using electrochemical oxidation with conjugation to nucleophiles including glutathione, cysteine, model proteins, and physiologically relevant proteins.
  • Synthesis of Metabolites - Electrochemical oxidative synthesis of drug and xenobiotic metabolites on the micro/milligram scale for further characterization by NMR, HPLC, etc. or to provide standards for quantification.
  • Electrochemical Cleavage of Peptides and Proteins - Using electrochemical oxidation of proteins and peptides to cleave at tryptophan or tyrosine residues as an alternative to enzymatic protein digestion.
  • DNA Adduct Formation - DNA adduct profiling by the electrochemical oxidation of nucleotides and drug molecules.
