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.
How sample preparation can affect your biomarker studies (II)
In a previous post, we looked at the importance of sample preparation methods depending on the biomarker being studied (e.g. MMPs, cytokines). Today, let's focus on cell / tissue lysates.
Tip #1
Tubulin polymerisation measurement - made easy!
Recently, I issued a post about a method which allows measuring microtuble binding capabilities of proteins of interest. Today, I invite you to look at methods for
Tubulin:Microtubule ratio measured in cells
Post-Translational Modifications (PTM) of Tubulin
In this post, I'd like to take a look at the current understanding of tubulin PTMs, that include tyrosination/detyrosination, Δ2-tubulin formation, acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glutamylation,
3 functional assays to investigate actin dynamics
Today, I'd like to give you an overview about methods in actin research with validated R&DÂ products and kits which will allow you to measure binding to actin and effects on the polymerisation dynamics

How to make Post Translational Modification characterization easier
Signal-Seeker assays (Cytoskeleton Inc.) provide researchers with the most comprehensive reagents enabling highly sensitive and specific detection of the key Post Translational Modifications (PTMs)
Cell signalling studies: Tips for selecting the best Small G Protein activation assay
Small GTP-binding proteins such as Rho and Ras GTPase family members are involved in regulating cell signalling pathways and impact a wide range of cellular processes, functions, and morphology. In this
Therapeutic Target - Ubiquitin-Proteasome system: What about tubulin?
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a well-characterized protein degradation system in cells whose dysfunction is implicated in many diseases, including neurodegeneration and cancer1,2. Major UPS
