Gel electrophoresis is a method to separate biomolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids based on their charge and size. During gel electrophoresis, an electric current is applied across a gel, causing negatively charged molecules to migrate toward the positive electrode and positively charged molecules to migrate toward the negative electrode. Smaller molecules migrate faster through the gel than larger molecules. Factors like the charge, size, and shape of molecules, as well as the electric current, gel composition, and buffer used, determine how far each type of molecule will migrate through the gel. Gel electrophoresis has applications in separating DNA, RNA, proteins, and other biomolecules.
Affinity chromatography is a method used to separate biochemical mixtures based on highly specific interactions like antigen-antibody binding. It works by coupling a ligand to a stationary phase gel that can trap molecules of interest from a mobile phase solution. Unbound molecules are washed away while bound molecules are later released through elution. Common uses include purifying proteins, nucleic acids, antibodies, and enzymes from mixtures by exploiting properties like metal ion binding or interactions with lectins or ligands.
This document discusses various types of mutagenicity tests, including molecular, gene, and chromosomal level tests. It describes three important mutagenicity tests in detail: the Ames test, HPRT gene test, and mouse micronucleus test. The Ames test uses bacteria to identify mutagenic chemicals. The HPRT test detects mutations in the HPRT gene of mammalian cells. The mouse micronucleus test examines mouse bone marrow for evidence of chromosomal damage and mutation. These three tests are commonly used to screen chemicals for potential mutagenicity and carcinogenicity.

This document discusses various techniques for determining the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins. It describes methods such as determining amino acid composition, degradation of proteins into smaller fragments, sequencing techniques like Edman degradation, and use of X-ray crystallography and NMR to analyze secondary and tertiary structures. Chromatography, electrophoresis, and centrifugation techniques are also covered for protein purification and separation.
This document discusses protein motifs and domains. It defines a motif as a recurring arrangement of secondary structure found in multiple proteins, such as the HTH, HLH, and hairpin motifs. A domain contains one or more well-characterized motifs and has an independent function. Two common motifs are described: the HTH motif, which contains two antiparallel alpha helices connected by a beta turn for DNA binding; and the HLH motif, which contains two helices connected by a loop, with the larger helix binding DNA and the smaller helix aiding folding. Domains are defined as distinct functional units that are evolutionarily conserved and can exist independently; they are classified based on secondary structure composition.
Gas chromatography (GC) is a technique used to separate volatile organic compounds. It consists of a carrier gas, an injection port, a separation column, an oven, and a detector. Samples are vaporized and injected into the column where components separate based on interactions with the stationary phase. Separated components exit the column and are detected, producing a chromatogram. Common applications of GC include environmental monitoring, refinery and chemical plant process control, and analysis of biological samples.

Ion exchange chromatography separates ions and polar molecules based on their affinity for an ion exchange resin. It works through the reversible electrostatic interaction between ions in solution and ions attached to the resin. There are four main types of resins: strong cation, weak cation, strong anion, and weak anion. Organic resins like polystyrene with divinylbenzene crosslinking are commonly used. The process involves equilibrating, applying the sample, eluting components at different rates depending on their affinity, and regenerating the resin. Ion exchange chromatography has applications like water softening, enzyme purification, and separation of ions, sugars, amino acids and proteins.
The technique of paper electrophoresis is simple and inexpensive and requires only micro quantities of plasma for separation.
The support medium is a filter paper
The electrophoresis apparatus in its simplest form consists of two troughs to contain buffer solution, through which electric current is passed.
Frequently used in isolating proteins, amino acids and oligopeptides.

The document discusses computational methods for predicting protein structure, specifically homology modeling and threading/fold recognition. Homology modeling constructs a target protein structure using the amino acid sequence and experimental structure of a homologous protein as a template. Threading/fold recognition predicts a protein's structural fold by fitting its sequence to structures in a database and selecting the best fitting fold, either through an energy-based method or profile-based method. Both methods are limited as homology modeling relies on a template structure and threading/fold recognition may not find a match if the correct fold does not exist in the database.

The majority of peptides in development target G-protein coupled receptors and have applications in metabolic disease, oncology, and cardiovascular disease. While peptides once faced challenges like short half-life, research is overcoming these limitations through modified peptides and conjugates with improved properties. The future of peptides in medicine remains promising as the field explores new targets and applications.
Second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules released by cells in response to extracellular first messengers to trigger physiological changes. Examples include cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, inositol trisphosphate, diacylglycerol, and calcium ions. The document provides examples of signaling pathways involving second messengers like cAMP, cGMP, and calcium, as well as eicosanoids that act as secondary signaling molecules.
Second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules that are responsible for transmitting signals from hormones and neurotransmitters outside the cell to trigger physiological responses inside the cell. There are three main types of second messenger systems: cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP), phospholipid derivatives (IP3 and DAG), and calcium/calmodulin. Hormones activate G-protein coupled receptors which stimulate the production of cyclic nucleotides via adenylate cyclase or guanylate cyclase. Phospholipase C breaks down phospholipids to form IP3 and DAG. Calcium entry activates the calcium/calmodulin system. These second messengers go on to activate downstream effector proteins to elicit cellular responses.
Genomics is the study of genomes, including sequencing genomes and determining the complete set of proteins and genes in an organism. The first genomes sequenced included Haemophilus influenzae in 1995 and the human genome was completed in 2003, taking 13 years.

Finally, it outlines several types of electrophoresis like zone electrophoresis, slab gel electrophoresis, disc electrophoresis, and isoelectric focusing electrophoresis. In summary, the document is a comprehensive guide to electrophoresis fundamentals and methodology.
Affinity chromatography is a method that separates molecules based on a highly specific non-covalent biological interaction between the target molecule and an immobilized ligand. The process involves passing a sample mixture over a column containing the ligand, where the desired molecule binds selectively while unbound molecules pass through. The bound molecule can then be eluted and collected by changing conditions like pH or introducing a competitive ligand. Affinity chromatography has various applications like antibody purification, enzyme purification, and nucleic acid separation. It provides high selectivity and purity but ligands can be expensive and columns have a limited lifetime.
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that are produced through normal cell metabolism and environmental exposures. They can damage cells by reacting with lipids, proteins, and DNA if produced in excess. The body has antioxidant defenses like enzymes and nutrients that neutralize free radicals. However, oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between free radical production and antioxidant defenses, leading to chronic diseases. While free radicals play beneficial roles in small amounts for immune function, too many can contribute to conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and more.

This document summarizes the cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway. It describes how extracellular signaling molecules called first messengers bind to G protein-coupled receptors, activating G proteins that stimulate the enzyme adenylyl cyclase to produce the second messenger cAMP. cAMP then activates the protein kinase A pathway and triggers cellular responses. Negative feedback mechanisms like phosphorylation and recruitment of arrestins terminate the signal by desensitizing the receptor. The cAMP pathway is an important intracellular signaling system that relays signals from surface receptors to drive changes in cell metabolism, proliferation, and other functions.
Cross-linking is a technique used to study protein structure and interactions. It involves using bifunctional reagents containing two reactive groups to form covalent bonds between amino acid residues, either within or between proteins. This captures transient or conditional interactions and provides structural data at higher resolution than other methods. The most common cross-linking reagents react with amino acids like cysteine, tyrosine, and lysine. Cross-linking has provided important insights into protein structure-function relationships and molecular interactions.
This document discusses affinity chromatography. It begins by explaining that affinity chromatography uses a specific affinity between a substance to be isolated and a molecule (ligand) that it can bind to.

While single step and high yielding, limitations include non-specific binding and ligand availability/cost. Overall, affinity chromatography provides high selectivity and resolution for target molecule purification.

This document discusses protein targeting in eukaryotic cells. It explains that each organelle has a distinct set of proteins that allow it to perform specific functions. There is a complex system that moves newly synthesized proteins from the site of synthesis to their proper destination. Proteins contain targeting sequences that direct them to the correct organelle, such as receptors to the plasma membrane or DNA polymerase to the nucleus. Targeting can occur co-translationally as the protein is synthesized on ER-bound ribosomes or post-translationally after cytosolic synthesis. The targeting sequences help distinguish the destination but are sometimes cleaved off later.

Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary RNA strand.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

2. First developed by Pedro Cuatrecasas and
Meir Wilcheck in 1968.
Used to study enzymes and other proteins.
Relies on affinity of various biochemical
molecules with specificity.
3. A method of seperating mixtures based on
highly specific interations/affinity between
the an immobilised ligand and target
molecule.
Ex. Antibody/antigen, enzyme/substrate, and
enzyme/inhibitor interactions.
4. Based on 3 aspects :
1. Matrix : for ligand
attachment.
2. Spacer arms : create
space between
ligand and matrix. If
they are close to
each other, then due
to steric hindrance,
the target molecules
won’t be able to bind
to the ligand.
3. Ligands : which has
an affinity for target
molecule. (reversible)
5. Provides attachment to affinity ligands.
Amino , hydroxyl , carbonyl, etc. groups serve
as ligand binding sites.
Should be stable enough in various
conditions like pH, salt concentrations etc.
Should be porous ( surface area).
Made of agarose, polyacrylamide, cellulose,
silica etc.
6. Selection of ligand influenced by 2 factors:
I. Ligand must exhibit specific and reversible
binding affinity for target.
II. Must have chemically modifiable groups that
allow it to attach to matrix.
• Ligands are attached to matrix by covalent
bonds using functional groups located in
matrix such as:
Amine
Carbonyl
hydroxyl
7. Commonly used ligands Affinity
