  • Add 2 µl of the substrate stock solution to 18 µl of protein sample containing a SNAP-tag fusion protein in an appropriate buffer (see notes). (neb.com)
  • We discuss the design of buffer chemistries for other protein systems and, in concert with experiments, provide full analytical solutions for the two operation modes, elucidating the interplay between reaction, diffusion, and accumulation time scales and enabling the prediction and design of future immunoassays.

  • The tube is lined with a coating of a fluorescent material, called the phosphor , which absorbs the ultraviolet and re-emits visible light. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • The mobility of green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions with native and mutant constructs of the major neuronal CaMKII isoforms has been measured in single dendritic spines by photo-bleaching and photo-activation protocols. (warwick.ac.uk)
  • Infection and colonization of tissues were clearly visible with a fluorescent microscope. (usda.gov)
  • After that, the scientists cloned proteins and selected the best-performing ones using a microscope. (technologynetworks.com)
  • Therefore, the team hopes the work provides a general methodology for the clinical and commercial development of protein/peptide-polymer conjugates as biologic drugs. (chemistryviews.org)
  • A confocal scanner then reads the fluorescent intensity of each hybridized sequence in the array. (medscape.com)
  • The best-in-class fluorescent sensors transduce chemical events into robust fluorescent signals. (nature.com)
  • ASCs were harvested from the fat tissues of transgenic mice that express a green fluorescent protein (GFP-ASCs) and then injected into the peri-implant space of recipient mice. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This method allows functional probes to be site-specifically conjugated onto a protein, while simultaneously separating modified and unmodified proteins. (uw.edu)
  • The interaction of biotin and Avidin or Streptavidin has been exploited for use in many protein and nucleic acid detection and purification methods. (genomicglossaries.com)
  • The natural protein has 238 amino acids. (wikipedia.org)
  • After maturation, these three amino-acids form a para-HydroxyBenzylideneDimethylImidazolinone (p-HBDI) structure, responsible for the light absorption and emission properties of the protein. (ibs.fr)
  • The protein architecture contains a dramatic approximately 80 degrees bend in the central helix, which focuses distortions at G67 to promote ring formation from amino acids S65, Y66, and G67. (proteopedia.org)
  • Though natural proteins are comprised of just 20 monomeric amino acids, they can be post-translationally decorated to introduce expanded chemical functionality. (uw.edu)
  • We estimated binding affinities in the micro-molar range for the dominant reactions of the CaMKII isoforms with the post-synaptic membrane and the actin cytoskeleton. (warwick.ac.uk)
  • Synaptic vesicle exocytosis occurs at specialized regions of the presynaptic membrane, termed active zones, in which presynaptic release machinery proteins cluster opposite postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors. (jneurosci.org)
  • The cystovirus Pseudomonas phage phi6 has an envelope that harbors five viral membrane proteins and phospholipids derived from the cytoplasmic membrane of its Gram-negative host. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The bilayer is composed of phospholipids and is typically embedded with membrane proteins. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Scientists can take advantage of this by using proteins found in bacteria called "restriction enzymes. (thetech.org)
  • The Atg12 protein in yeast is an indispensable polypeptide in the highly conserved ubiquitin-like conjugation system operating in the macroautophagy/autophagy pathway. (bvsalud.org)
  • A major deletion in the IDPR disrupts intactness of the UBL domain at the unconjugated C terminus, and a mutation in the predicted α0 helix in the IDPR prevents Atg12 from binding to Atg7 and Atg10, which ultimately affects the protein function in the ubiquitin-like conjugation cascade. (bvsalud.org)
  • Though several techniques have been developed, the majority do not provide site-specific modification nor stoichiometric conjugation necessary to preserve protein bioactivity. (uw.edu)
  • Willem P.C. Stemmer of Affymax Research Institute in Palo Alto, California, published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy Science in 1994, describing a technique for rapidly shuffling and recombining DNA in the laboratory that appears to generate recombinant proteins with greatly improved performances.
