The present invention relates to maintaining bioactive molecules in their native or substantially near-native form and preventing or reduce aggregation. In particular, the present invention relates to precipitation-protective or stabilizing additives and a method of using said precipitation-protective/stabilizing additives to protect and maintain the bioactive molecules in a native or substantially near-native form and to prevent or reduce aggregation during or following precipitation to form particles.

Precipitation stabilising compositions comprising bioactive molecule and at least one cationic and one anionic precipitation stabilizing additives

The present invention relates to the provision of micron or sub-micron sized particles formed from one or more water-soluble crystals comprising a surface coating comprising one or more bioactive molecules wherein the particles are prepared such that in use the release of the bioactive molecule(s) is/are delayed and/or continually released over a period of time. Processes for the preparation of said particles, as well as the particles themselves are described, as well as uses of the particles.

Slow release compositions

The present invention relates to protein-coated micro-crystals and their method of preparation. The protein-coated micro-crystals may find particular application in preparing enzymes for use as biocatalysts; preparation of therapeutic proteins for use in pharmaceutical formulations; production of cleansing agents comprising enzymes; production of paints, varnishes, coatings, films and the like comprising proteins which impart protective and/or antifouling properties; production of films, polymers, inks, coatings, electrodes and/or optical materials comprising proteins for diagnostic kits and/or biosensor applications; use of proteins for studies of molecular recognition, molecular binding and inhibitor binding in non-aqueous media; and preparation of protein based food additives.
