Using AFPredictor, it was demonstrated that ‘ordered surface carbons’ (OSCs) are a distinguishing feature of AFPs and, more specifically, their ice-binding surfaces. AFPredictor identified AFPs from within a large set of structures with greater than 99% specificity. Furthermore, it was used to identify a novel ice-binding protein by screening a library of homology modeled structures based on cDNA sequences obtained from cold-acclimated winter rye (Secale cereale). - [Read A Computational Screening protocol for Antifreeze/Ice-Structuring Proteins]

The MagneSil system can selectively isolate PCR products that are more than 150-bp long from primers and primer -dimers.  The technology can be used with a number of robotic workstations, including Beckman Coulter’s Biomek 2000 and FX Laboratory Automation Workstations.  The procedure can also be carried out manually.  Typical recovery is more than 80% for a 1-kb product with negligible carryover of primers or nucleotides. - [Read A Magnetic Particle-Based Method for Purifying PCR Products from Solution Protocol]

A general method for the assay of deubiquitinating enzymes was described in detail using 125I-labeled ubiquitin-fused αNH-MHISPPEPESEEEEEHYC (referred to as Ub-PESTc) as a substrate. - [Read A Method for Assaying Deubiquitinating Enzymes]

Category: Plant Biology Protocols: Plant DNA RNA Isolation Protocols

The protocol includes: organelle isolation, deoxyribonuclease treatment, lysis, deproteinisation and a final DNA purification with sodium dodecyl sulphate and potassium acetate. The organelle DNA yield is 5–10 micrograms per gram of tissue and the DNA is fully restrictable. The technique is inexpensive and appropriate for the isolation of multiple samples of organelle DNA from a small amount of tissue. - [Read A Method for Isolation of Chloroplast DNA and Mitochondrial DNA from Sunflower]

Category: Genetics and Genomics: Cancer Genetics Protocols: Loss of Heterozygosity Protocols

DNA for analysis is purified using salt precipitation. The method is gentle, limits the breakage of the long chromosomal strands, and avoids the use of phenol and chloroform. It is suitable for use with cultured cells, breast tumor tissue that has been subjected to hormone receptor analysis, and blood samples. The loss of heterozygosity assay is performed using a multiplex PCR, in which one of each primer pair is labeled with a different fluorophor. - [Read A Multiplex PCR Method to Define a Narrow Deleted Chromosomal Region of a Tumor Genome]

The pH is an important parameter controlling many metabolic and signalling pathways in living cells. Recombinant fluorescent pH indicators (pHluorins) have come into vogue for monitoring cellular pH. They are derived from the most popular Aequorea victoria GFP (Av-GFP). Here, we present a novel fluorescent pH reporter protein from the orange seapen Ptilosarcus gurneyi (Pt-GFP) and compare its properties with pHluorins for expression and use in plants. - [Read A Novel Fluorescent pH Probe for Expression in Plants]

Category: Fungi Protocols: Aspergillus Protocols

The technique makes use of an Escherichia coli strain expressing the redΑßΓ operon under the control of an inducible promoter. This enables the strain to carry out homologous recombination with only 50-60 bp of homologous sequence. The procedure does not require any DNA ligation and is very rapid. It allows a single gene or region on a cosmid to be replaced by a bi-functional selectable marker (having both an E. coli and an A. fumigatus marker). - [Read A Rapid Method for Generating Gene Deletions in Aspergillus fumigatus Protocol]
