Capsid proteins play a central role in numerous biological processes, especially concerning DNA & RNA delivery systems. At Creative Proteomics, we fully grasp the significance of capsid proteins in these processes. Our DNA & RNA capsid protein composition analysis service empowers you to gain comprehensive insights into the capsid composition of your DNA & RNA samples.

Introduction of DNA & RNA Drug Carrier Capsid Protein Composition

The analysis of capsid protein composition involves a comprehensive examination and identification of the specific proteins constituting the capsid structure. Capsid proteins have the remarkable ability to autonomously assemble within the host, forming structures closely resembling viral bodies. These resulting structures are known as virus-like particles (VLPs). VLPs possess the capacity to encapsulate nucleic acids or other small molecules, serving as carriers for genes or drugs. Understanding the composition of these proteins plays a pivotal role in optimizing drug delivery strategies and enhancing therapeutic effectiveness.
