Batch binding with gravity flow chromatography
As for the unsticking, here too I like to take advantage of the gravity flow format to try to get […]
Types of scientific papers: What’s what and how to know
The 2 main types of scientific papers are research articles and review articles More on reading scientific articles: https://youtu.be/zRZtK1uB-Fc ⠀blog […]
Conservation of protein sequences: “conserved” vs. “conservative” (substitutions)
Don’t confuse “conserved” with “conservative” – no, I’m not getting political on you. Instead, I’m talking about the makeup of […]
Bespoke . . . synthesis, treatments, assays, etc.
Increasing numbers of “bespoke” treatments are found these days as gene therapies and cell therapies start hitting the market. Often […]
Translational readthrough of PTCs (premature termination codons), suppressor tRNAs (sup-tRNAs), and PERT
Primary (research) article for PERT: Pierce, S. E.; Erwood, S.; Oye, K.; An, M.; Krasnow, N.; Zhang, E.; Raguram, A.; Seelig, […]
Off-target and on-target activity & effects
On-target activity/on-target effects: A molecule designed (or at least theorized) to bind one thing, the “target” (e.g., a drug binding […]
Be legendary! Scientific figures & legends, a practical guide
Figures are core to scientific papers. (And they’re often freely accessible even when the paper isn’t). You can learn a […]
Unintentional error: Avoiding common experimental artifacts (especially batch & positional effects)
Although outright fraud and research misconduct definitely does occur in science sometimes, many “reproducibility” problems in science stem from poor […]
