The JCSG investigators have incorporated new methods and technologies into an effective robotic pipeline for producing proteins and determining structures. Their efforts will advance the goals of the Protein Structure Initiative and lead to many benefits for the scientific community,” said John Norvell, director of the Protein Structure Initiative.

“This antibody is very broadly active,” says Scripps Research Professor Dennis Burton, who led the research with Scripps Research Professor Ian Wilson. “It neutralized nearly 100 different viral strains of HIV from all over the world. [During tests in the laboratory], every one of them was neutralized.”
