Enzo Life Sciences anti-Müllerian hormone (human), (recombinant)
08 June, 2016Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the TGF-β family of genes and has been shown to be present in both males and females. AMH (human), (recombinant) is now available commercially from Enzo Life Sciences.
Outlier enzymes play a role in metabolism and inflammation
31 March, 2016US scientists have discovered two enzymes that appear to play a role in metabolism and inflammation — despite not bearing a resemblance to any known class of enzymes.
Determining the risk of prostate cancer death
01 February, 2016Researchers have identified a prognostic biomarker, the neuropeptide pro-NPY, which may help determine the risk of dying from prostate cancer.
Studying sepsis with protein patterns
18 January, 2016A Swedish research team has developed a way to measure hundreds of proteins in a single blood sample, using these protein patterns to determine the severity of sepsis (blood poisoning) in individual patients.
Shedding light on the dark proteome
25 November, 2015Scientists have long speculated about the nature of the dark proteome — the regions of proteins where molecular conformation is completely unknown.
3D imaging a cancer protein
12 October, 2015Scientists have created what is said to be the first 3D image of a key protein known to be involved in the development of blood and other cancers.
NH DyeAGNOSTICS Smart Protein Layers for analysis of protein gels and western blots
15 August, 2015Smart Protein Layers (SPL) technology, from NH DyeAGNOSTICS, is suitable for stain-free, quantitative and standardised analysis of protein gels and western blots. The system enables simultaneous detection of the amount of target protein and total protein in a gel and also between gels.

Alternative technique for assessing binding kinetics in live cells
26 June, 2015Researchers have recently demonstrated the principle of real-time ligand binding to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the single most important family of drug targets, using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET).
The cause of neurodegenerative disorders takes shape
11 June, 2015How can one protein's aggregates be the cause of several neurodegenerative disorders? Neurobiologists have discovered that the shape of these aggregates - 'cylinders' or 'ribbons' - determines whether a patient develops Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy, respectively.
