Efficient screening of PPAR active compounds
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors of the Nuclear Receptor superfamily. PPAR active compounds are of significant interest in multiple pharmaceutical
How to easily obtain a highly purified untagged recombinant protein
Isolation of highly purified untagged proteins is crucial in today's R&D programs. Up to now, recombinant protein production approaches were often based on the use of "tags" to make protein purification
Which endotoxin testing assay in bioproduction?
Pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries apply restrictive quality systems in their bio-production processes. Among the numerous parameters controlled daily by scientists, I have selected
SUMO-tag: boost your recombinant protein expression
SUMO-tag gene fusion acts as both a chaperonin and as an initiator of protein folding in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. Addition of this tag enables protein experts to increase the expression
3 easy colorimetric assays to measure ECM components
Matrix components are key R&D elements in pharmaceutical and cosmetology with tremendous impacts on tissue regeneration, skin repair,
Rat liver tritosomes in the endosome-lysosome pathway
Rat liver tritosomes are hepatic lysosomes that have been loaded with Tyloxapol (Triton WR 1339), a non-ionic surfactant. Tyloxapol is taken up by hepatocytes through endocytosis and is trafficked to lysosomal
How sample preparation can affect your biomarker studies (II)
In a previous post, we looked at the importance of sample preparation
TUBEs: study M1 (linear) polyubiquitylated proteins
Traditional methods to detect and purify poly-ubiquitinated proteins require either anti-ubiquitin antibodies or Ubiquitin Binding Associated domains (UBAs). Most of the current methods display rather
Antibody purification troubleshooting tips
Antibody-based techniques are widely used in Life Science laboratories. Antibody purification is often required to raise purity yield of antibody production batches or to reach publication-grade data.
Soluble and Insoluble Collagen assays - made easy!
The monitoring of ECM components during experimental approaches requires robust and user-friendly in vitro assays. In the past experimental methods (e.g. soluble collagen measurement) were laborious
