Understanding Absolute Stoichiometry of Oligomeric Protein Complexes Using SEC-MALS
Thought LeadersSheena D Arcy & Prithwijit SarkarD Arcy Group University of Texas
In this interview, Sheena D Arcy and Prithwijit Sarkar from the D Arcy Group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at Dallas talks to News-Medical Life Sciences about using SEC-MALS to characterize the native oligomeric state of Nap proteins and their complexes.
What is SEC-MALS?
SEC-MALS is size-exclusion chromatography coupled to multi-angle light scattering. The SEC component is comprised of an HPLC or FPLC pump and SEC column plus a UV absorption detector. An aliquot of solution that typically contains a mixture of different protein species is injected and flows through the packed column.
In Vivo Probes for Detecting Inflammation Markers in Humans and Animals
Thought LeadersProf. Parastoo HashemiSenior Lecturer in Bioengineering, Imperial London College
Associate Professor of Chemistry, University of South Carolina
In this interview, News-Medical Life Sciences talks to Parry Hashemi about the research on in vivo probes for detecting inflammation markers in humans and animals that she will present at Pittcon.
What are some traditional methods for detecting inflammation markers in humans and animals?
Traditionally, a blood or plasma sample will be taken. There are certain proteins that indicate an inflammation; for example, pro-inflammatory cytokines. If the levels of these are raised that corresponds to inflammation.

(Russian.news.cn archived photo screenshot) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) A new study based on a year of research by a German physicist has concluded that the Wuhan coronavirus started with an accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Dr. Roland Wiesendanger, who specializes in nanoscience at the University of Hamburg, on Feb. 18 published a 105-page report on ReasearchGate titled Study on the Origin of the Coronavirus Pandemic. The study was carried out from January to December 2020 based on scientific literature, print articles, online media, and correspondence with international researchers.

Developing Biochemically Sensitive Membranes with Electrochemistry
Thought LeadersLane BakerProfessor of ChemistryIndiana University Bloomington
In this interview, News-Medical Life Sciences talks to Lane Baker, Professor of Chemistry at Indiana University Bloomington about the role of electrochemistry in developing biochemically sensitive membranes as well the work ongoing at the Baker lab.
Can you define nanoscale electrochemistry?
The term ‘nanoscale electrochemistry’ has two meanings: One involves getting things down to the nanometer scale, but the second is when the properties of the system change. When you get to scales that are very small, things behave differently.
We saw this in electrochemistry in the late 1980s and early 90s, when things shrunk to the microscale. This brought about a revolution in electrochemistry, and nanoscale is the next revolution, as we move to even smaller scales where we find new phenomena related to the dimensions. Everything happens a l
