New DUALmembrane kit

Find novel interaction partners for your integral membrane protein!
With the DUALmembrane kit you can screen full-length, integral membrane proteins and membrane-associated proteins against a cDNA library of your choice to identify novel interaction partners of your protein of interest.

Features of the DUALmembrane kit 3
Screen full-length integral membrane proteins for interactors in vivo
Protein interactions are detected under physiological conditions at the membrane
Novel interactors are identified through screening of cDNA libraries
Easy subcloning of full-length cDNA inserts using Sfi I technology
NMY51 reporter strain with improved stringency, resulting in fewer false positives
Trial size HTX β-galactosidase assay kit included (2x 96 reactions)

DUALmembrane starter package
Take advantage of the DUALmembrane starter package to get quickly started: it includes the DUALmembrane kit 3 and two additional kits for easy quantitative determination of β-galactosidase levels and efficient library scale yeast transformation.

The DUALmembrane starter package includes:

DUALmembrane kit 3
Standard size HTX β-galactosidase assay kit (4x 96 reactions)
DS Yeast transformation kit

$0.66 per bp for Synthetic Genes - Cloning via Email

Cloning used to be straight benchwork, involving planning, repetitive
digestion, purification, ligation, transformation, screening, and
confirmation. This tedious process can now be bypassed by simply
emailing the sequence of your gene of interest to a precise and reliable
contractor, cloning by email to Gen Script!

http://www.biologyproject.net/gene_synthesis.html


Free up your valuable time and energy to invest in more creative tasks.
Send us the sequence of your gene and you will receive it in any vector
in as little as 12 business days.

Our advanced gene synthesis technology applies to all our gene
manipulation services:
1) Mutagenesis - for as little as $295 per mutation
2) Construction of mutant libraries
3) Construction of targeting vectors (knockout/knockin) - for as little
as $2,800 per construct

Protein Characterization Utilizing Unique New Capabilities from a Dynamic Light Scattering Instrument

Protein Characterization Utilizing Unique New Capabilities from a Dynamic Light Scattering Instrument
The molecular weight of biological materials and polymers can be determined from both static light scattering (SLS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments using Malvern's Zetasizer Nano. In addition the molecular size of very small molecules in solution can be measured using the Zetasizer Nano, both as a batch measurement in cuvettes, and with the use of a flow cell, as a detector at the end of a chromatography column.

Cell Signaling: Chasing Down Kinases And Their Targets

Cell Signaling: Chasing Down Kinases And Their Targets
Signaling pathways are everywhere. We couldn’t live without them – both the intracellular pathways that govern the interior workings of cells, and the pathways involved in intercellular communication, and the communication of cells with their physical environment. But these nicely organized... more...

No More Slab Gels for DNA and RNA

No More Slab Gels for DNA and RNA
eGene Inc., now a Qiagen company, sells the HDA-GT12TM Genetic Analyzer for the separation and detection of DNA/RNA molecules. The HDA system automatically handles samples in 12-well strips or a 96-well tray, gives DNA resolution up to 2-5 bp, uses less than 1 µL sample volume, and provides DNA size and concentration data in digital format. This analyzer combines automatic gel electrophoresis and accurate gel documentation in one compact system.
