5 Ingredients for the Perfect Protein Purification Buffer
Purified proteins must be kept soluble and active. Discover how to design the perfect protein purification buffer—from additives you can include and their appropriate concentrations to important considerations.
Plasmid vs. Genomic DNA Extraction: The Difference
Most experiments start with a piece of DNA—either plasmid DNA or genomic DNA. And your downstream uses for it dictate how much you need, what contaminants you can tolerate, and your extraction and purification methods. In this article, we explain the key differences between plasmid and genomic DNA extraction methods.
