To compare: To compare and contrast Northern blot versus Western blot
Introduction: The blotting techniques are used to separate different macromolecules on the basis of size and mass or charge on the macromolecule. These blotting techniques have enabled the separation of protein, RNA and DNA molecules according to their charge and mass. The segregation of the similar sized fragments has revolutionized the
To compare: To compare and contrast yeast two-hybrid assay with coimmunoprecipitation.
Introduction: There are a number of protein-protein interactions occurring inside the cell. These interactions play an important role in post-translational modifications, activation of enzymes, changing the configuration of proteins and start of biochemical reactions. The conditions in which protein-protein interaction takes place tells us about how and when a protein is being translated from RNA and gives the frequency of the release of the protein.

- You decide to use a plaque assay with a human lung epithelial cell line to compare the effectiveness of the drug. The results of the plaque assay for one strain of influenza are shown below. Based on these results, what can you conclude about the relative effectiveness of WJ379 at 1 mM compared to oseltamivir at 1 mM? Briefly explain your rationale.arrow_forwardBiochemistry techniques: a) Name and briefly describe the ELISA assay with greater sensitivity for detection of the viral infection. Focus on antigens and antibodies. Justify your reasoning. B) Consider a mixture of four proteins with various molecular weights. A histone molecule weighs 15 kDa, a p53 molecule weighs 53 kDa, an actin molecule weighs 42 kDa, and an IgG molecule weighs 150 kDa, Arrange the molecules in order of their elution from a gel filtration column.

Why,then, is the immunoblot (Western blot) procedure usedto confirm screening tests that are positive for humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV)?arrow_forwardThe main reason/reasons that motivated the geneticengineers to use E. coli in the production of monoclonal antibodies compared to the usual techniques is/are: O a. The quality of monoclonal antibody produced by the usual method is poor. O b. The establishment of hybridomas is not easy. O. Theusual technique produces only polyclonal antibodies. O d. The isolation of lymphocytes is difficult. O e. The isolation of spleen cells is difficult.arrow_forwardWith detail, compare and contrast the following 5 real-time assays; Taqman, SYBR Green, Molecular Beacon, FRET, and Scorpion.
