CRO Partners

Turn protein dynamics into a premium service.

CROs that offer EPR-based structural analysis win mandates that competitors can't touch. FATHOM™ makes it operationally and economically viable for the first time.

The problem

Structure isn't static.

Cryo-EM, NMR, AlphaFold, and X-ray crystallography give you a snapshot. Biological function lives in what the snapshot misses — the loops that flex, the domains that switch, the conformational ensembles that decide how a molecule binds.

The solution

Measure the motion.

FATHOM resolves nanoscale distance distributions and conformational dynamics on micromolar samples, in under a few hours, on an instrument built for the structural biology lab.

The instrument

The world's first quantum-enabled EPR spectrometer.

FATHOM measures the protein dynamics that static structural techniques can't resolve — the conformational motion behind binding, signalling, and drug action.

What You Can Offer Clients

New service lines. Differentiated capabilities. Higher-value contracts.

Add EPR-based protein dynamics analysis to your service portfolio and open doors to mandates that require structural insights beyond standard biophysics panels.

GPCR Conformational Profiling

Over 30% of FDA-approved drugs target GPCRs. EPR reveals subtle ligand-induced conformational changes that define agonist, antagonist, and biased signaling behavior — data your pharma clients need and can't easily get elsewhere.

Cryo-EM & AlphaFold Validation

Cryo-EM time is expensive and competitive. Help clients maximize it. EPR provides fast, point-to-point distance constraints that screen protein samples and validate structural predictions before clients commit to microscope time.

PROTACs & Targeted Protein Degraders

The efficacy of molecular glues and PROTACs depends on precise ternary complex formation. EPR resolves intermolecular distance distributions and quaternary arrangements — critical data for an area where client investment is surging.

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

IDPs like amyloid-β and tau are implicated in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. Their dynamic nature makes them invisible to NMR and Cryo-EM. EPR captures the probability distributions that define their behavior.

High Q Technologies expands EPR access through partnership with creative biostructure

WATERLOO, ON, June 2, 2026 - High Q Technologies has partnered with Creative Biostructure, a Contract Research Organization, to bring our EPR Sample Measurement Service to a wider audience. Researchers can now access a broad array of structural biology tools which includes quantum-enabled EPR spectroscopy data, providing insights into protein dynamics and conformational behaviour without needing direct access to an instrument . Simply reach out through Creative Biostructure to get started.
