Chemical Biology

Our highly experienced core staff has used their chemical biology expertise to assist OHSU researchers with the design of chemical biology experiments and the synthesis of necessary chemical tools. With the aid of our synthesis, purification, and analytical instrumentation we aim to deliver these chemical tools with >95 % purity and will provide a Certificate of Analysis.

  • Designing experiments to identify biological targets, monitor and investigate biological processes, and evaluate enzyme activities.
  • Designing and synthesizing the necessary chemical tools for your.
  • Designing and synthesizing cross-linkable versions of your lead candidates from previous Structure-Activity Relationship studies to confirm or determine their target.
  • Connecting you to a CRO, if we are not able to process your request due to time, price, or scale issues.
  • Providing you, upon request, with written synthetic procedures and additional characterization of synthesized compounds for publications or grants.

Will be added soon!

Contract synthesis

  • Synthesis of known and unknown organic compounds with well-characterized literature-based synthetic routes.
  • Cost estimates are based on time required for synthesis and purification and cost of material.
  • Cost includes a Certificate of Analysis with purity and identity confirmation.

$Z000 (X hours x 100/hour + $Y00 material costs)

Reasearch synthesis

  • Synthesis of known and unknown organic compounds with no or poorly characterized literature-based synthetic routes.
  • Cost estimates are based on time required for synthesis and purification and cost of materials and are presented as a range with the higher number including a case-by-case research buffer.
  • Cost includes a Certificate of Analysis with purity and identity confirmation.

$Z1000 - $Z2000 (X1 – X2 hours x 100/hour + $Y00 material costs)

Written procedures and additional analysis

  • Collection of additional analytical data and writing procedures for publications or grants.
  • Cost estimates are based on time required for additional analysis and writing.

$Z00 (X hours x 100/hour)

Material costs

  • These are pass-through costs.
  • Material costs can vary from the original cost estimate if we need to order more or different chemicals for the synthesis. We will contact you before making any additional purchases.
