One way to define a protein’s purpose is by its protein-protein interactions (PPIs). These interactions are often modeled as binary relationships, i.e. protein A interacts with protein B; but proteins are social biomolecules. They can be part of multiple dynamic and overlapping ...
Every few months we highlight a subset of the new plasmids in the repository through our hot plasmids articles. These articles provide brief summaries of recent plasmid deposits and we hope they'll make it easier for you to find and use the plasmids you need. Below you'll find ...
Antibodies are a go-to tool for detecting a protein of interest in cells and tissues. Although antibody production is well established, it’s also a process that’s difficult for individual labs to complete. The nanobody based RANbody platform from the Sanes Lab overcomes this ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Greg Lohman, a biochemistry researcher at New England Biolabs. When do you need a high fidelity ligase—and when is an alternative ligase a better choice? And what is ligase fidelity anyway? Let’s talk about it. DNA ligases are enzymes ...
Western blots. ELISAs. Immunofluorescence. What do all of these techniques have in common? They all typically require secondary antibodies, frequently of the mouse or rabbit variety. While antibodies certainly aren’t “broken,” their production does require continued animal ...
This post was contributed by guest blogger Matthew J. Niederhuber, a graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing, ChIP-Seq, is the go-to method for mapping where a protein binds genome-wide, and has been widely ...
We’ve talked a lot about the quality control process at Addgene by introducing our new sequencing partner seqWell and going into detail about how we use next generation sequencing results to perform quality control on deposited plasmids. We’ve also talked about how our new ...
