Microproteomics: Analysis Of Protein Diversity In Small Samples, Howard B. Gutstein, Jeffrey S. Morris, Suresh P. Annangudi, Jonathan V. Sweedler

Jeffrey S. Morris

Proteomics, the large-scale study of protein expression in organisms, offers the potential to evaluate global changes in protein expression and their post-translational modifications that take place in response to normal or pathological stimuli. One challenge has been the requirement for substantial amounts of tissue in order to perform comprehensive proteomic characterization. In heterogeneous tissues, such as brain, this has limited the application of proteomic methodologies. Efforts to adapt standard methods of tissue sampling, protein extraction, arraying, and identification are reviewed, with an emphasis on those appropriate to smaller samples ranging in size from several microliters down to single cells. The …


A Kinetic Model For Growth And Biosynthesis Of Medium-Chain-Length Poly-(3-Hydroxyalkanoates) In Pseudomonas Putida, Irene Tan Kit Ping Jan 2008

A Kinetic Model For Growth And Biosynthesis Of Medium-Chain-Length Poly-(3-Hydroxyalkanoates) In Pseudomonas Putida, Irene Tan Kit Ping

Irene Tan Kit Ping

A kinetic model is presented giving a mathematical description of batch culture of Pseudomonas putida PGA1 grown using saponified palm kernel oil as carbon source and ammonium as the limiting nutrient. The growth of the micro-organism is well-described using. Tessier-type model which takes into account the inhibitory effect of ammonium at high concentrations. The ammonium consumption rate by the cells is related ill proportion to the rate of growth. The intracellular production of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA(MCL)) by P. putida PGA1 cells is reasonably modeled by the modified Luedeking-Piret kinetics, which incorporate a function of product Synthesis inhibition (or reduction) by …
