Biodesy

Biodesy is developing the first products and systems to rapidly measure both protein structure and function in real time and high-throughput with applications including drug discovery, structural biology and clinical biomarkers. Biodesy has developed a unique and highly sensitive technology for detecting conformational change in proteins and other biological molecules. Based on a phenomenon called second-harmonic generation (SHG), the proprietary technology can monitor structural changes at any site within a protein, in real time. Since protein function is determined by its structure, and changes in structure cause changes in function, characterizing these changes will provide significant insights into human disease and how to treat it. Biodesy is located in South San Francisco, California.
