In one sequence (left), an antibody (monoclonal or polyclonal) against a specific protein is pre-immobilized onto an insoluble support, such as agarose or magnetic beads, and then incubated with a cell lysate containing the target protein. During the incubation period, gentle agitation of the ly...
Neurodegenerative diseases typically involve deposits of inclusion bodies that contain abnormal aggregated proteins. Therefore, it has been suggested that protein aggregation is pathogenic. However, several lines of evidence indicate that inclusion bodie
Proteins are a macronutrient that is essential for the growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in the body. Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. There are 20 different amino acids, and the body can make some of them on its own. However, there...
Fibrin is astrong insoluble proteinproduced by the body in response to bleeding. Whenever tissue damage (wound) results in bleeding, a soluble protein found in blood plasma calledfibrinogenbecomes converted into fibrin molecules by the action of a clotting enzyme calledthrombin. ...
Fibrous elastin is a biologic macromolecular construct for which there currently exists a wide disparity of descriptions. On the one hand is the view that elastin is an unambiguously random network of polypeptide chains best described functionally by analogy to rubber elasticity. On the other hand, ...
Importantly, when x-gal is catabolized the byproduct, 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl, dimerizes producing an insoluble blue pigment. However, colonies made up of cells that accept a plasmid with the DNA insertion remain white, because the DNA that was inserted into the cloning vector at the MCS...
BHT is insoluble in water, 10NaOH solution, glycerol, and propylene glycol. BHT is odorless, odorless with good thermal stability.BHT, also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for its antioxidant properties....
Collagen is an insoluble and fibrous protein that’s naturally found in our bodies. In fact, it’s the most abundant protein in our bodies and comprises 25%-35% of our total protein content. You might know of collagen from beauty creams and wrinkle “fixing” solutions…and as something th...
In PD as well as in MSA there is intracellular accumulation of an abnormally folded insoluble protein, alpha-synu- clein, in the form of Lewy bodies in PD and largely as oli- godendroglial, glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) in MSA. For this reason MSA and PD are classified as alpha-...
