First Optimal Drug Combination for Roundworms

submitted by: raroian
Intestinal roundworms infect >2 billion of the poorest peoples and have received little attention. Very little money is spent on much needed drug development for human parasites, making them one of the great neglected tropical diseases. Recently, a new and powerful class of anti-roundworm drugs (anthelmintic) has emerged- crystal proteins (e.g., Cry5B) made by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Here we show that combining Cry5B with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists like tribendimidine and...

GST-fusion Protein Purification

submitted by: abnova
by Abnova - Protein purification is a series of processes intended to isolate a single type of protein from a complex mixture. We use GST-fusion protein to purify and detect proteins of interest. The GST-fusion protein can be purified from cells via its high affinity for glutathione. Check http://www.abnova.com/abvideo/ for more videos!

SDS-PAGE

submitted by: abnova
by Abnova - SDS-PAGE is a technique used to separate proteins according to their electrophoretic mobility. SDS gel electrophoresis of samples have identical charge per unit mass due to binding of SDS results in fractionation by size, visualize the separated proteins, or process further application.

Polymerase Chain Reaction

submitted by: abnova
by Abnova - Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique to amplify few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. There are three major steps (Denaturation, Annealing and Extension) in a PCR and repeat for 30 or 40 cycles.
