I earned my PhD in Plant Pathology from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1992. Since then, I’ve been a researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s Center for Genomic Sciences. My current research focuses on the biosynthesis and physiological roles of polyamines in the nitrogen-fixing microsymbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti.

Expressing your protein of interest but not sure if it’s properly folded or struggling with inclusion bodies? Read on to discover advice and tips for battling inclusion bodies and refolding proteins
I’m a simple molecular biologist. It’s awesome how computational biologists use math to reduce and rebuild biological phenomenon. In my own way, I also like to reduce my observations to numbers. As a budding biochemist, I need to assemble and quantify the players in my pathway to truly understand it. In particular, I am interested…
Discover how Ponceau S works, how to perform staining, and get a detailed guide to interpreting what the staining means when troubleshooting your failed blots.
In any application that uses antibodies for signal detection (e.g., Western blotting, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, or FACS), there are two approaches to antibody labeling: direct and indirect labeling. Standard Western blotting uses indirect labeling because you use a primary antibody to detect the target antigen, followed by a secondary antibody to which a detection molecule is…
Monoclonal antibodies are extensively used in research laboratories, diagnostic products and immunotherapy and have multiple advantages over polyclonal antibodies. They exhibit enhanced specificity to single epitopes, have little or no variability, and are easy to modify and customize as required. The History of Monoclonal Antibodies In 1984, Georges Köhler, César Milstein, and Niels Jerne received…
Here’s a tip that you may find useful if you are expressing proteins in E.coli using a lac promoter-based expression system, e.g. pET, in LB medium (L-broth). Lac expression systems are typically induced in the lab using IPTG (isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalacto- pyranoside), which is a non- hydrolyzable analog of lactose, the natural inducer of the lac operon….
