Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis01:22

Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis

7.4K
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is a high-resolution protein separation method first introduced by O' Farrell and Klose in 1975. This method involves protein separation by two dimensions, mass and charge, making it more accurate than one-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.
Biological samples, such...

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis02:35

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis

113.3K
Agarose gel electrophoresis is a laboratory technique commonly used to separate DNA fragments by size. However, it can also be used to isolate and purify DNA fragments using a gel extraction protocol.
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
In cloning experiments, both the insert and vector DNA...

Silica Gel Column Chromatography: Overview

3.6K
Silica gel column chromatography is a technique for separating compounds using a column packed with silica gel as the stationary phase. This method relies on differences in the polarity of compounds. Based on their polarities, compounds move between the stationary phase (silica gel) and the mobile phase (the solvent), forming discrete bands in the column.
Polar components tend to bind strongly to the silica gel, causing them to move slowly through the column. In contrast, nonpolar compounds...

Protein Complex Assembly02:41

Protein Complex Assembly

16.7K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Mixtures of Gases: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures and Mole Fractions

44.0K
Unless individual gases chemically react with each other, the individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each other’s pressure. Each gas in a mixture exerts the same pressure that it would exert if it were present alone in the container. The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture is called its partial pressure.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Annealing is a common thermal treatment for modifying material properties.
  • Kinetically-trapped supramolecular gels lack detailed annealing studies.
  • Understanding annealing effects is crucial for controlling gel properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of annealing on multicomponent supramolecular gels.
  • To explore the preparation of gels with tunable mechanical properties via annealing.
  • To understand the self-assembly and network changes during annealing.

Main Methods:

  • Annealing of two-component supramolecular gels at controlled rates.
  • Characterization of mechanical properties (storage modulus) before and after annealing.
  • Analysis of self-assembly and network structure evolution.

Main Results:

  • Annealing a two-component gel resulted in a self-sorted network structure.
  • The annealed gels exhibited significantly different mechanical properties compared to as-prepared gels.
  • A notable increase in storage modulus was observed due to changes at the network assembly level.
  • Selective annealing of individual components within the mixture was demonstrated.

Conclusions:

  • Annealing is an effective method for tuning the mechanical properties of multicomponent supramolecular gels.
  • Self-sorting and network rearrangement during annealing are key to property modification.
  • The ability to selectively anneal components offers precise control over material design.
