2 assays to assess GEF and GAP activity
In my previous post Small GTPases: Measuring small G protein activation I looked at state-of the-art methods for measuring the activation of small G proteins,
Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Alzheimer
In a recent post, I concentrated on the role of HDACs in cancer: Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Cancer and mentioned that some HDACs are overexpressed and show very high activities in
58 different human RTKs in one phosphorylation array
The Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) are an important family of cell-surface receptors transmitting extracellular stimuli (ex. NGF, PDGF, FGF, EGF, Insulin...)
Versatile measurement of protein binding to microtubules
You suspect your protein binds to microtubules? That it might stabilize or destabilize these filamentous structures? Then this post is here to help you to find a meaningful assay to validate your assumption.
Get your ELISA results before mid-morning coffee!
Believe it or not, some 20 years ago, performing an ELISA would take around 3 days. Now we are used to ELISAs that can be performed in one day, or even before lunch! (OK, sometimes before
10 most popular antibodies in neuroscience research
Analysis of neuronal cell fates and biological activities sometimes relies on the effective staining of a protein of interest (a.k.a. marker) with a specific primary antibody validated for immuno-assays.
Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) as pharmaceutical targets
While it is likely that all Ubiquitin-Like proteins (UBLs) will be important for drug discovery because of these associations, Ubiquitin has been the most completely validated for this
See how researchers get good quality publications with arrays
How sample preparation can affect your biomarker studies (II)
In a previous post, we looked at the importance of sample preparation
6 active compounds to rediscover rare bacterial metabolites
Microbial metabolites are a source of unequalled elements for in vitro assays. Sometimes neglected, these active molecules naturally provide a large spectrum of structural diversity for Drug
Proteomic profiling tools for your neurobiology studies!
First at all, a quick reminder... Cytokines play important roles in inflammation, innate immunity, angiogenesis and cell growth. They are involved in a lot of disease processes
