Category: Cytoskeleton Protocols: Actin Myosin Protocols

Phalloidin binds specifically to F-actin, and fluorescent-tagged phalloidin stains the actin skeleton in cells in a manner that is very close to the staining pattern seen using anti-actin antibody. - [Read Actin Staining in Fixed Yeast Cells Protocol]

Category: Protein Protocols: Protein Quantitation Concentration Protocols: Bradford Protein Assay Protocols

Bradford Protein Assay Spectrophotometry.  Includes spectrophotometry information and the Bradford protein assay: A spectrophotometer or colorimeter makes use of the transmission of light through a solution to determine the concentration of a solute within the solution.  A spectrophtometer differs from a colorimeter in the manner in which light is separated into its component wavelengths.  A spectrophotometer uses a prism to separate light and a colorimeter uses filters. - [Read Bradford Protein Assay Spectrophotometry]

Category: Immunology: Immunoprecipitation Protocols: Immunoprecipitation of Radiolabeled Cells Protocols

Most powerful and convincing method to determine if a specific protein is phosphorylated in a physiologically relevant manner is to assay phosphorylation in situ. The procedure described involves incubating cultured cells (e.g., primary neuronal cultures or transfected cells) or tissue preparations (e.g., hippocampal slices) with [32P]orthophosphate, which is then taken up by the cells or tissues and incorporated into the γ-phosphate position of ATP. - [Read Detection of Protein Phosphorylation in Tissues and Cells Protocol]

Category: Mouse Protocols: Mouse Reproductive System Surgery Protocols

Protocol describes castration of male mice, which is used to eliminate testicular hormones and/or to obtain testes for analysis without sacrificing the male. Castration is performed in a similar manner to vasectomy. - [Read Mouse Castration Protocol]

Category: Cell Organelle Protocols: Subcellular Fractionation Protocols

Although Percoll gradients were able to provide a purified sporocyst fraction, because these particles do not all band in a discrete manner in such gradients, they were unable to provide a simultaneous isolation of a pure oocyst wall fraction. Gradients formed from this protocol on the other hand are able to provide purified sporocysts and oocyst walls in the same gradient. - [Read Purification of Oocyst Walls and Sporocysts from Toxoplasma gondii Protocol]

Category: Bacteria Transformation Protocols

Protocol describes a method for transforming Agrobacterium with plasmid DNA using electroporation in a manner similar to that commonly used for Escherichia coli. Although the transformation efficiency for Agrobacterium is lower than that for E. coli, it is possible to obtain adequate numbers of Agrobacterium transformants with this technique. - [Read Transformation of Agrobacterium Using Electroporation Protocol]
