"Melusine" (www.melusine.com) are pre-fractionated animal venoms, ready-made by Atheris Laboratories (www.atheris.com) for lead discovery and distributed by Bachem (www.bachem.com).Venoms are a great source of highly potent, selective and poorly immunogenic bioactives that target ion channels, receptors, enzymes, cells and living organisms amongst others, which has already led five successful drugs to the market.Melusine are unique collections of peptides, mini-proteins, proteins and other biomolecules. These libraries are meticulously prepared by Atheris for targeted discovery of new hits and leads. Melusine microplates are distinctive choices of pre-fractionated venoms and other natural extracts that our team of experts will select for your specific research activities using our long term expertise and our proprietary databases and biocomputing tools.Venoms have been evolved by Nature to generate highly potent, stable and selective biomolecules. It is important to consider that venoms:- are mostly unexplored- offer a significantly higher success rate in hit-discovery- generate original lead compounds with a high drugability potential- lead to competitive intellectual property assets Our new catalogue is made of a grand total of 400 libraries in several distinct collections covering venoms from snakes, scorpions, spiders, hymenopters, amphibians, cone snails, sea anemones, jellyfishes, ants, etc., all ready-made for high-throughput screening and follow-up program.At Atheris, we specialize since 15 years in lead discovery and lead optimization with a special focus on animal venoms, using our unique proprietary discovery platform that combines peptidomics/proteomics strategies (our "wet-lab") and integrates bioinformatic tool (our in silico "dry-lab").Remember Melusine is a fairy. Wish it and we will do our best to grant it!Do not hesitate to contact us at wonder@melusine.com
