Quantifying protein-protein binding
30 November, 2012 by Daniel Some, Principal Scientist, Wyatt Technology Corporation | Supplied by: Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (Oceania) Pty LtdComposition-gradient static light scattering can be used to determine the binding affinity and stoichiometry of reversible protein complexes, without tagging, immobilisation or other modifications. The method can distinguish and quantify multiple simultaneous stoichiometries.

Protein regulation and intellectual disability
26 October, 2012While many intellectual disabilities are caused directly by a genetic mutation in the protein coding part of genes, genetics researchers at the University of Adelaide have found a case where the cause is actually outside the gene, in the regulation of proteins.
Major flaw found in standard approach to gene expression analysis
26 October, 2012Common assumptions employed in the generation and interpretation of data from global gene expression analyses can lead to seriously flawed conclusions about gene activity and cell behaviour, according to Whitehead Institute researchers.
