Western Blotting Summary - BioTechniques
WEBWestern 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 ...
How Early Life Thrived Without Oxygen - BioTechniques
WEBJan 11, 2017 · For a couple billion years, our planet’s gassy shell contained water vapor, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. During these eons, water vapor condensed and formed vast oceans—flowing nurseries with the right conditions for early life. Even so, the absence of free oxygen in the air would not support life as we see it today.
Seq-Well: Improving single-cell RNA-seq resolution - BioTechniques
WEBOct 19, 2020 · A new Seq-Well modification has improved what we can glean from single-cell RNA-seq and shed new light on skin diseases. Single-cell RNA-seq is key to understanding cell biology and working towards new disease treatments; however, while current approaches have become higher throughput and cheaper, those improvements have had a trade-off in ...

What is Western Blotting? The Story of the Western Blot
WEBJul 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.
Protecting the powerhouse of the cell - BioTechniques
WEBJan 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.
