Western Blotting Summary - BioTechniques
Western blotting (or immunoblotting) is a well-established biochemical technique that detects specific proteins in complex samples and has applications from basic research to the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Western blotting can be used to determine quantity, molecular weight and post-translational modifications of proteins and can ...
What is Western Blotting? The Story of the Western Blot
Jul 18, 2018 · The technique involves the identification and characterization of DNA-binding proteins using DNA probes (Southern) and protein blotting (western) and was first described in 1980. This method was published before the western blot. Yet, it still alludes to it in its name, reaffirming the popularity of the western blot.
What is the Maillard Reaction? the Science of Cooking
Nov 20, 2018 · The Maillard reaction is a process ubiquitous in the culinary world, it occurs every time you make toast, bake cookies and roast meat, but to most people it is simply known as ‘browning’, a name that only really addresses one of its effects. The Maillard reaction, named after French chemist Louis-Camille Maillard in 1910, is responsible for ...
Genetically Engineered Cells used for Targeted Delivery
Jan 31, 2022 · Enucleated genetically engineered ‘cargo’ cells could provide the solution to challenging safety concerns raised by using heavily engineered stem cells for drug delivery. By removing the nucleus from mesenchymal stromal stem cells, a combined team from the School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Centre at the University of California, San ...
Protecting the powerhouse of the cell - BioTechniques
Jan 11, 2019 · The mitochondria, often labeled the powerhouse of the cell, are the organelle responsible for energy production within the cell. Playing an important role in cellular respiration, the mitochondria are the main location for ATP production. They also make proteins essential for DNA metabolism such as the iron-sulfur family of proteins.
Five Hispanic Scientists You Should Know About - BioTechniques
Oct 6, 2022 · Severo Ochoa was a biochemist and enzymologist whose career spanned seven decades and resulted in more than 200 published papers, 30 honorary doctorates, and even an asteroid named in his honor (the asteroid 117435 Severochoa, discovered in 2005). Ochoa was born in 1905 in Lucara (Spain), and his interest in biology was piqued by Spanish Nobel ...
All Phases of Cell Cycle Visualized in Real Time - BioTechniques
Jan 11, 2017 · To understand the dynamics of cell-cycle status in tumors, Florian’s team used two new reporters: one to visualize G1 and the other to see G2, S, and M phases. “Because [FUCCI4] uses fluorescent colors with little overlap, it can be used with many microscopes, and it also has a clean reporter of S phase,” said Florian.
