Protocol describes a denaturing immunoprecipitation (IP) for mammalian cells. Prefer to use denaturing IPs to recover labeled proteins from pulse-chase experiments. The use of denaturing IPs reduces background considerably. - [Read Denaturing Protein Immunoprecipitation from Mammalian Cells Protocol]
High-resolution SNP mapping by denaturing HPLC. A SNP mapping procedure that relies on resolving polymorphisms by denaturing HPLC without the necessity of determining the nature of the SNPs. They demonstrate the use of denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography to identify mutations in the candidate genes and to fine-map chromosomal breakpoints. - [Read High-resolution SNP mapping by denaturing HPLC]
For many sources of antigens, one useful method of lysis is to treat cells with harsh, denaturing solutions to release most of the protein antigens, as described here. The lysates are then diluted to reduce the denaturing conditions to levels that are suitable for the formation of antibody-antigen complexes. The resulting solution is precleared prior to immunoprecipitation. - [Read Immunoprecipitation: Denaturing Lysis Protocol]
Protocol describes a nondenaturing immunoprecipitation (IP) for mammalian cells. Prefer to use denaturing IPs to recover labeled proteins from pulse-chase experiments. However, the nondenaturing protocol is useful when one wishes to separate soluble from insoluble proteins, or when the antibody being used recognizes a native epitope. - [Read Nondenaturing Protein Immunoprecipitation from Mammalian Cells Protocol]

Protocol for preparation of denaturing polyacrylamide gels containing formamide.The inclusion of formamide in sequencing gels eliminates secondary structure in the DNA during electrophoresis. Formamide gels are particularly useful and almost a necessity when sequencing DNA templates with a G/C content >55%. - [Read Preparation of Denaturing Polyacrylamide Gels Containing Formamide Protocol]
Immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) is suitable for the purification of proteins under denaturing conditions. Either guanidine-HCl or urea can be used, although guanidine-HCl is a stronger denaturant than urea. Proteins that have been adsorbed to the column in the presence of guanidine-binding buffer may be washed with urea-binding buffer and eluted with urea elution buffer. - [Read Purification of Histidine-Tagged Proteins under Denaturing Conditions Using IMAC Protocol]
In the first part of this protocol, the linear range of amplification is determined by carrying out 10 identical PCRs in the presence of [{alpha}-32P]dCTP and stopping one reaction after every two cycles. Amplification products are quantified on a denaturing polyacrylamide gel and the results plotted on a graph (counts per minute vs. cycle number). Total RNA is used as an internal control. - [Read Relative RT-PCR: Determining the Linear Range of Amplification and Optimizing the Primers:Competimer]
Single-strand confirmation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) is a powerful and robust method for the detection of DNA sequence changes (single-base substitutions) based on shifts in electrophoretic mobility. In this protocol, the target sequence is simultaneously labeled and amplified, then heat-denatured and resolved by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. - [Read Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism Analysis Protocol]
The target sequence is simultaneously labeled and amplified, then heat-denatured and resolved by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Differences in sequence alter the conformation of the DNA and hence its electrophoretic mobility and, because of the high resolution of polyacrylamide gels, most conformational changes caused by subtle changes in sequence can be detected. - [Read Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism Analysis Protocol]
This protocol describes the methods of storage for antibody-containing sera. Antibodies are resistant to a broad range of mildly denaturing conditions, so long-term storage is relatively easy. - [Read Storage of Sera Protocol]
Technique yields a heterogeneous population of short radiolabeled molecules 200-300 nucleotides in length. These probes are synthesized, as in Synthesis of Single-stranded DNA Probes of Defined Length from Bacteriophage M13 Templates, by extension of an oligonucleotide primer on a single-stranded DNA template. The radiolabeled products of the reaction are then separated from the template by electrophoresis through a denaturing gel from which they are eluted directly into hybridization buffer. - [Read Synthesis of Single-stranded DNA Probes of Heterogeneous Length from Bacteriophage M13 Templates]
A single step RNA isolation protocol using Phenol Chloroform Extraction and Acid Guanidinium Thiocyanate. This RNA isolation method uses the fact that guanidinium thiocyanate can simultaneously lyse the cells and inactive cellular RNAses during the initial RNA isolation step allow a single step in the method.
