Western blotting

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique to detect specific proteins. A mixture of proteins is separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, blotted on to a plastic sheet (e.g. of nitrocellulose) and then exposed to a ...

Immunoblotting

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique to detect specific proteins. A mixture of proteins is separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, blotted on to a plastic sheet (e.g. of nitrocellulose) and then exposed to a ...

A region of a protein that has a stable secondary and tertiary structure that can fold independently of other domains; often connected to other domains, of the same protein if any, by short sequences ...

Southern blotting

Biology; Biochemistry

A technique for detection of specific DNA fragments. Restriction fragments are separated by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, blotted on to a plastic sheet (e.g. of nitrocellulose) and detected by ...

Proofreading
