Purification method of FoF1-ATP synthase oligomers for drug delivery target research in diseases caused by mitochondrial dysfunctions

Summary of the technology

FoF1-ATP synthase localized in mitochondria presents energy production and membrane Permeability Transition Pore (mPTP) functionalities which, when dysfunctional, can cause mitochondrial or immunometabolic diseases. Purified F-ATP synthase in various oligomeric forms has also raised interest for conclusive in vitro testing because of its role in mPTP. To our knowledge, no protocol for F-ATP synthase oligomers separation has reached the desirable levels of quantity, stability or purity for high-resolution structural and functional analysis required for drug discovery.

Our purification method for FoF1-ATP synthase has shown excellent ability to produce the desired large amounts of human-derived FoF1-ATP synthase monomers, dimers, tetramers and oligomers, with high purity levels and while steadily retaining high levels of ATP synthase activity. We expect this method to be used for drug discovery purposes, research in drug targets for mitochondrial diseases and other applications.

We are looking for a partner who has the capability to develop a commercializable technology based on the applied patent and our researcher's knowhow. We are also open to suggestions for applications other than the ones mentioned below.
