Protocol for the optimization of absorption condition for dye-ligand affinity chromotography. Generally, low pH and low ionic strength, absence of phosphate ions, and the presence of divalent metals ions increase the binding of proteins to immobilized triazine dyes. - [Read Optimization of Adsorption Conditions for Dye-Ligand Affinity Chromatography Protocol]
Protocol for the optimization of elution condition for dye-ligand affinity chromotography. Elution methods used in dye-ligand affinity chromatography may be either selective or nonselective in nature. Usually, selective elution methods are applied in combination with group-specific adsorbents, such as dye-ligand adsorbents, and nonselective elution methods are used in combination with highly specific adsorbents. - [Read Optimization of Elution Conditions for Dye-Ligand Affinity Chromatography Protocol]
3' Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends RACE Using PCR Protocol. This protocol contains the steps for 3' end rapid amplification of mRNA by PCR. The first-strand cDNA is synthesized from total or poly(A+) RNA by priming from the poly-A tail of the mRNA using a oligo (dT) adaptor primer. The cDNA is then amplified via PCR using a gene-specific primer and an adaptor primer.
This protocol describes the electroporation of the BMH 81-17 mut S strain that is recommended for tranformation of the site directed mutagenesis of dsDNA (See Protocol on Site-Directed Mutagenesis on Double Stranded DNA). BMH 81-17 mut S are a mismatch repair defective (mut S) Escherichia coli strain. The probability that the two mutations will cosegregate during the first round of DNA replication is increased in this strain.
