Immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) exploits a molecule’s affinity for chelated metal ions. The amino acid histidine present in many proteins forms complexes with transition metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Fe3+. Chelating Sepharose™ Fast Flow with a suitable immobilized metal ion will therefore selectively retain proteins with exposed histidine. - [Read Chelating Sepharose Fast Flow Protocol]
Multiphoton fluorescence microscopy is a powerful new technology that enables the acquisition of optical sections without the use of a pinhole aperture typically used for confocal microscopy. The technique is based upon the two-photon principle: A fluorescent molecule simultaneously absorbs two photons producing an electronic transition from the ground to excited state equal to two times the energy of each incident photon. - [Read Multiphoton Images from LSM 510 NLO System]
