Flow cytometry and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS)Abu Sufiyan Chhipa
Flow cytometry is a technology that analyzes physical and chemical characteristics of particles in fluid as they pass through a laser. It is used for cell counting, sorting, biomarker detection, and protein engineering. The basic principle is passing cells in single file past a laser for detection, counting, and sorting. It has applications in leukocyte analysis, DNA analysis, detecting enzymatic deficiencies, minimal residual disease, detecting autoantibodies, fetal-maternal hemorrhage quantification, and reticulocyte analysis.
Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) is a cytogenetic technique that allows radiolabeling of genomic DNA within cells, allowing visualization under a fluorescence microscope. GISH was developed in 1986 for animal hybrid cell lines and 1987 for plant studies. It involves extracting and radiolabeling genomic DNA from one organism as a probe to target and hybridize to similar genomic regions of another organism. Unhybridized regions can then be stained, allowing visualization of probe-target complexes and unlabeled regions. GISH provides quick, sensitive, and informative results for establishing phylogenetic relationships and identifying hybridized genomes.
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a database for the three-dimensional structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids.

DNA sequencing is a fundamental process in biotechnology that determines the order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. There are two main methods: the chemical method developed by Maxam and Gilbert, and the enzymatic method developed by Sanger and Coulson. DNA sequencing involves degrading DNA fragments into smaller pieces, sequencing the individual fragments, and ordering the fragments to determine the full DNA sequence.
2D-PAGE is a technique used to separate complex protein mixtures based on isoelectric point and molecular weight. It involves two sequential steps - isoelectric focusing and SDS-PAGE. In isoelectric focusing, proteins are separated based on their isoelectric point in an immobilized pH gradient. They are then separated by SDS-PAGE based on their molecular weight. The separated proteins can then be visualized through staining and identified through mass spectrometry. While useful for proteomic analysis, 2D-PAGE has limitations such as low reproducibility and dynamic range.
1) G.N. Ramachandran created the Ramachandran plot in 1963, which is an essential tool for understanding protein structure. The plot analyzes allowed regions of phi and psi dihedral angles in peptide units.
2) Protein stability refers to a protein maintaining its native folded conformation rather than becoming denatured. Stability depends on a balance of forces and is important for protein function.
3) Factors that influence protein stability include pH, ligand binding, disulfide bonds, and interactions within the protein and between the protein and solvent. Chaperone proteins and proteases also help maintain stability in cells.
Southern blotting is a hybridization technique for identification of particular size of DNA from the mixture of other similar molecules. This technique is based on the principle of separation of DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis and identified by labelled probe hybridization.
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is a type of PCR that uses short, arbitrary primers to randomly amplify DNA fragments. Several primers are used in PCR with genomic DNA to generate unique band patterns. RAPD does not require prior knowledge of DNA sequences and can detect mutations if they occur where the primer binds. However, it has lower resolution than targeted methods and results can be difficult to interpret. RAPD analyzes 100 to 3000 base pair fragments and computer programs can analyze the profiles.

Nucleosomes are the fundamental repeating subunits of eukaryotic chromatin that package DNA into a compact structure. They are composed of 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of histone proteins, resembling beads on a string. This represents the first order of DNA compaction. Higher orders of compaction involve the nucleosomes winding further to form solenoid fibers, scaffold loops, chromatids, and finally full chromosomes. Nucleosomes allow the long DNA molecules to fit within cell nuclei while also regulating genetic expression.
Gel electrophoresis is a process that separates DNA fragments by size. It involves placing DNA into a gel and applying an electric current, which causes the smaller fragments to travel farther through the gel than larger fragments. Gel electrophoresis is used for various applications like solving criminal cases, diagnosing genetic diseases, and determining genetic relationships between species.

Lab 7 dna fingerprinting and gel electrophoresis fall 2014Amy Hollingsworth
DNA fingerprinting is a technique used to distinguish individuals by analyzing DNA sample patterns. It involves obtaining a DNA sample, amplifying the DNA, cutting it into fragments using restriction enzymes, separating the fragments by size using gel electrophoresis, and analyzing the fragment pattern. DNA fingerprinting can be used to identify suspects in crimes by comparing DNA patterns from biological evidence left at a crime scene. It has also been used to determine paternity and solve medical problems by identifying inherited disorders.
Proteomic analysis involves fractionating and enriching cells or tissue to isolate proteins, then further breaking the proteins into peptides. The peptides are separated using chromatography and introduced into a mass spectrometer to determine their mass-to-charge ratios. Data-dependent acquisition is used to automatically select peptides for fragmentation and sequencing to identify the proteins present. Proteomics provides information about protein expression levels, post-translational modifications, interactions, and dynamics that complement genomics and transcriptomics data.

نيتروسيليلوز أو ( PVDF) يتم إختيارهم لخاصية الإلتصاق غير
المحدد بالبروتيات )أي أنهم يلتصقون بأي بروتين بصورة
متساوية(. إلتصاق البروتينات مبني على تفاعلات مصابة بفوبيا
الماء hydrophobic interactions) ، بالإضافة إلى
التفاعلات المشحونة بين الغشاء والبروتين. إن أغشية
النيتروسيليلوز تكون أقل كلفة من الـ PVDF ، ولكنهم هشة أكثر
ولا تستطيع الوقوف لتحقيقات مجددة reprobes [كثيرة.] 3
التأثير الكلّي والموحّد لنقل البروتين من الهلام إلى الغشاء يمكن
التأكد منه بصبغ الغشاء بصبغة كوماسي Coomassie أو
بونسو س Ponceau S. كوماسي هي الصبغة الأكثر حساسية
4. من الصبغتين، بالرغم من أن سهولة ذوبان بونسو س في الماء
[تجعله أسهل للإزالة لاحقاً والتحقق من الغشاء كما في أدناه.] 4
