Localization of peroxisomal matrix proteins by photobleaching.

6 Aug 2009 The distribution of some enzymes between peroxisomes and cytosol, or a dual localization in both these compartments, can be difficult to reconcile. We have used photobleaching in live cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion proteins ... Read more...

Detection of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase activity on a polyacrylamide gel.

11 Jun 2009 This study presents a method to detect active polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase on a polyacrylamide gel that combines the polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) polymerization reaction with Sudan Black B staining. After separation of the protein samples on a ... Read more...

A coupled assay measuring Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 85C enzymatic activity.

19 Oct 2008 The prevalence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) emphasizes the need for new antitubercular drugs. An essential component of the drug discovery process is the development of tools to rapidly screen potential drug ... Read more...
