Activation of RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 - New G-LISA Trial kits
Small GTP-binding proteins such as RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 are involved in regulating cell signalling pathways and impact a wide range of cellular processes, functions, and morphology. They bind and hydrolyze
Measure antioxidative capacities of your samples
Free radicals and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules generated by normal cellular processes, environmental stress, and UV irradiation. ROS react with numerous cellular components
Actin staining techniques in fixed and living cells
Actin can be stained in living and fixed cells to determine and follow the structure and function of the cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton is a very dynamic and labile structure in the living cell,
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,
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.
Tubulin polymerisation measurement - made easy!
Recently, I issued a post about a method which allows measuring microtuble binding capabilities of proteins of interest
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&D products and kits which will allow you to measure binding to actin and effects on the polymerisation dynamics
