  • Proteins associated with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway have been identified as SUMOylated substrates, and evidences suggested that the initiation and progression of cancers depended on the function of the SUMOylation ( 23 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • The lectures give insight in the research frontier and provide a theoretical background on experimental methods used for protein purification and investigations of protein properties/function and dynamics. (lu.se)
  • The student is trained in the use of important methods within protein purification and characterisation, including methods used for the study of properties and function and structural dynamics. (lu.se)
  • Protein Electrophoresis is a method in which a mixture of proteins can be separated and analyzed. (wikibooks.org)
  • Gel electrophoresis is performed to analyze the molecular weights and the charge of the protein and is mostly used in electrophoresis of the protein. (wikibooks.org)
  • Many cellular proteins are reversibly modified by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) moieties on Ser and Thr residues. (scienceopen.com)
  • 2 Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a very abundant - it accounts for as much as 1% of total cellular proteins - ubiquitous and remarkably conserved enzyme. (ac.be)
