What is this all about?

Determining the binding interface between a drug and its targets is a key element of any successful drug development pipeline. Target validation and hit-to-lead investigations are refined and propelled forward by determining this interface, and at Ichor Life Sciences, Inc. this is our specialty!

We are a 100% USA-based company focused on structural biology and biophysical characterization to drive drug development. Let our structure team answer the most important questions for your drug discovery process!

By coupling Formulatrix Robots and a Rock Imager 1000, screening thousands of different crystal conditions has never been easier and faster!

We are able to identify the conditions necessary to crystallize your protein and, in a high throughput manner, perform crystal farming with routine shipments to the beam for the best shot on goal to achieving a crystal structure.

We are excited to offer a limited-time, exclusive, and risk-free crystallography package! What does this entail? How about a path to generate beam-ready crystals with no up-front costs?

Ichor will handle all the screening and optimization that goes into a typical crystal campaign with no upfront costs until crystals are on their way to the beam!

Additional Services:

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy

We employ NMR techniques that help unravel the intricate structural and dynamic characteristics of biomolecules such as protein, nucleic acids, and small compounds.

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC)

We provide specialized capabilities in ITC alongside our protein x-ray crystallography services. This includes assessing binding thermodynamics, analyzing protein-ligand interactions, determining affinity, and evaluating thermodynamic parameters, while taking into account the complexities of molecular recognition.

Protein Expression & Purification

Access efficient protein production and purification for analyzing protein structures, ensuring the highest quality samples for your x-ray crystallography studies, with our Protein Expression and Purification services.

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)

Receive real-time, label-free, and precise measurements of binding kinetics and affinity as part of our extended x-ray crystallography support. Our SPR expertise ensure precise analysis of protein, peptide, nucleic acid, small molecule, and biomolecule interactions.
