 Short description of cholesterol Cholesterol is a sterol that constitutes the third most abundant lipids of the cell membranes. If you are wondering about the first and second most common membrane lipids then here is the answer. Phospholipids are the most abundant membrane lipids while the …

 Researchers have devised a method to determine SDS concentration in a protein sample that can easily be employed to determine the concentration of SDS  in a protein sample during the purification process or other biochemical experiments. Sodium dodecyl sulfate is an anionic detergent that is most …

 ECD FT-ICR/MS is a type of mass spectroscopy that is equipped with Electron Capture Dissociation as a source of ionization and Fourier Transform-Ion Cyclotron Resonance as a mass filter/analyzer. To identify the sites of post-translational modifications of a given protein, different analytical tools can be employed …

 During purification, it is necessary to determine the concentration of proteins in the crude extract as well as in purified fractions. There are different methods to determine the concentration of proteins, but the only accurate method to determine the protein concentration is to hydrolyze the protein …

 A team of brain researchers found a specialized molecular imaging tool while working on targeting a cellular process involved in neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction. This molecular imaging tool performs its job by binding to the transporter of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, a mediator of the central nervous system. …
