Ninhydrin is most commonly used to detect fingerprints in forensic cases, as the terminal amines of lysine residues in peptides and proteins sloughed off in fingerprints react with ninhydrin. [2] [3] Ninhydrin is a white solid that is soluble in ethanol and acetone. [1] Ninhydrin can be considered as the hydrate of indane-1,2,3-trione.
The protein of interest is isolated with a specific antibody. Interaction partners which stick to this protein are subsequently identified by Western blotting. [2] Interactions detected by this approach are considered to be real. However, this method can only verify interactions between suspected interaction partners.
LB medium bottle and LB agar plate Plate medium agar LB. Lysogeny broth (LB) is a nutritionally rich medium primarily used for the growth of bacteria. Its creator, Giuseppe Bertani, intended LB to stand for lysogeny broth, [1] but LB has also come to colloquially mean Luria broth, Lennox broth, life broth or Luria–Bertani medium. [2]
Phage display cycle. 1) fusion proteins for a viral coat protein + the gene to be evolved (typically an antibody fragment) are expressed in bacteriophage. 2) the library of phage are washed over an immobilised target. 3) the remaining high-affinity binders are used to infect bacteria. 4) the genes encoding the high-affinity binders are isolated.
Protein detection is used for clinical diagnosis, treatment and biological research. [1] Protein detection evaluates the concentration and amount of different proteins in a particular specimen. [2] There are different methods and techniques to detect protein in different organisms.
Protein production is the biotechnological process of generating a specific protein. It is typically achieved by the manipulation of gene expression in an organism such that it expresses large amounts of a recombinant gene .
SILAC has emerged as a very powerful method to study cell signaling, post translation modifications such as phosphorylation, [6] [7] protein–protein interaction and regulation of gene expression. In addition, SILAC has become an important method in secretomics, the global study of secreted proteins and secretory pathways. [8]
The most common method is alkaline lysis, which involves the use of a high concentration of a basic solution, such as sodium hydroxide, to lyse the bacterial cells. [15] [16] [17] When bacteria are lysed under alkaline conditions (pH 12.0–12.5) both chromosomal DNA and protein are denatured; the plasmid DNA however, remains stable.
