Novel technology embodied in the micrOTOF allows precise measurement of both accurate mass and True Isotopic Pattern (TIP) over a wide dynamic range, allowing for the implementation of an open access system.

ADP-Glo™: An Ideal Approach to Monitor the Activity of Protein Kinases and Beyond

Oct 16

Because of its versatility (alltypesofsubstrates), robustness (Z’>0.8), rapidperformance, and its ease of use, the luminescence based Kinase Glo® assay platform has gained wide acceptance in many drug screening programs for protein kinase inhibitors.

A Cell-Based, Microplate Format, DELFIA Assay for Determination of the Activation of MAP KinaseSofia

Oct 16

Mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK) are activated in response to extracellularsignals or cellular stress. We have set up a cell-based DELFIA®Time-Resolved Fluorescence assay to test compounds or conditions for their ability to modulate cellular stress by the activation of MAPK.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Cytochrome P450 monoxygenases play an important role in the defence against inhaled toxic compounds and in metabolizing a wide range of xenobiotics and environmental contaminants. In ambient aerosol the ultrafine particle fraction which penetrates deeply...

The impact of habitat fragmentation on tsetse abundance on the plateau of eastern Zambia.

3 hours ago

Tsetse-transmitted human or livestock trypanosomiasis is one of the major constraints to rural development in sub-Saharan Africa. The epidemiology of the disease is determined largely by tsetse fly density. A major factor, contributing to tsetse population density is the...
