How to interpret the RDF plots?

I have studied the structural changes of a protein in 3 different concentrations of ionic liquids (50 mM, 500 mM, and 1M). On analysis of the RDF plots, I find that the magnitude of the RDF plot...

How can we decide the frequency range for approximation to be used for a Fractional order PID controller used in a power electronic converter?

Hi, I am not clear as to how to decide the frequency range required for the approximation of a FOPID controller used to control a power electronic converter. Can anyone suggest some papers which...

Which is the best way to find the number of water molecules around the protein?

Dear all, I am trying to calculate the number of water molecules at a distance of 0.35A from the protein. I used two gmx select GROMACS codes which have given me different answers. 1. gmx_mpi...

How to interpret the RDF plot?

Hi, I am studying the stabilization of proteins using different solvents using GROMACS. Attached is the RDF of the cation (black) and anion (red) around the protein. I used "gmx_mpi rdf com rdf...

What would be the most ideal method for expressing and characterizing a transmembrane protein such as an efflux pump in E.coli?

In terms of the expression and characterization of efflux pump proteins, there seem to be several setbacks due to their trans-membrane nature. One method that I know of is the denaturation of the...

mRNA to protein expression?

I have been conducting a series of experiments where I transiently transfect plasmid with my gene of interest into HT29 cells. When I performed qRT-PCR on these cell samples, I can clearly see an...

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....

Is CD44 degraded in lysosome together with hyaluronan after CD44 mediated endocytosis of hyaluronic acid?

Also when RHAMM binds hyaluronic acid, they get internalized, will RHAMM also be degraded? Or both CD44 and RHAMM will be transferred back to the cell membrane? Asking for breast cancer cell line...

Do you need the CMV enhancer before the CMV promotor for a proper function of CMV on the gene that follows?

I'm a student and I have to produce a cell line with a knockin for the NRF2 gene with GFP. I have to put a promotor in front of the GFP because the gene will be too far away from the promotor of...

Has anyone had luck using cell lines other than HEK 293 (such as COS1) to package lentivirus?

I am looking to package lentivirus in endothelial cells but I am opposed to using 293 cells due to personal ethics regarding the source. I have done some reading and saw that COS1, COS7, & CHO...
