Does anybody know of a technique to detect the protein carbonyl adducts?

04 April 2014 1 7K Report

Oxyblot from Millipore can detect carbonylated proteins/amino acids, but what I am looking to do is detect a carbonyl compound added to a protein so that the actual carbonyl group is no longer there and the carbonyl has been added to the protein.

No, it is not AGE. It will be a chemically generated carbonyl of indoles and hydroxyindoles.

Can DMSO in the PCR make amplicon size shift on agarose gel?

I expect a 70 bp amplicon which shows up only with 2% (or higher) DMSO in the PCR. But with DMSO, the size of this amplicon goes from 70 bp to ~110b bp on 3% agarose gel. Same happens when a...
