Paging systems

Hard et al (reference 110, 125, and submitted to/. Geophys, Res. 1991) have developed a system for the chemical conversion of HO2 to HO via the reaction HO2 + NO —> HO -I- N02. The hydroxyl radical is then measured by their low-pressure laser-induced-fluorescence instrument. Their multi-sample-channel LIF PAGE system is thus capable of simultaneous measurements of [HO ] (directly) and [H02 ] (by conversion to HO ). 

Neukirchen et al. (1982) from the Max-Planck Institute employed a similar miniaturized IEF/SDS-PAGE system that was roughly 2 cm x 2 cm. Silver staining was used to detect spots containing as little as 10 pg of protein, and electrophoresis was used to separate the proteins contained within a single Drosophila egg. 

Ornstein21 and Davis24 developed the first high-resolution PAGE system for native proteins. Their popular system is still in widespread use. It was designed for the analysis of serum proteins, but works well for a broad range of protein types. The Ornstein-Davis buffers should be the first discontinuous system tried when working with a new, native sample. 

At SGX-CAT, beam alignment is accomplished automatically. A two-stage process first maximizes the intensity of the beam exiting the monochromator. Combined motions of the robot and the monochromator are then used to place the X-ray beam directly at the sample position. In addition, critical components, including the operational parameters of the cryostream, the sample robot, and the X-ray intensity monitor are continually assessed. If any drift out of their allowed tolerance is detected, a beamline staff member is automatically notified through a paging system. Necessary adjustments can then be performed, in many cases via remote internet access to the beamline control system. 

Discussions of different PAGE systems and possible errors are given by Johnson. (Johnson G (1983) Gel Sieving electrophoresis a description of procedures and analysis of errors. In Glick D (ed.) Methods in biochemical analysis, vol 29. WUey, New York, p 25). 

PAGE systems described in this chapter are well established nevertheless, modifications concerning acrylamide concentration (%T as well as %C) maybe done to optimize the separation conditions. 

The SDS-free PAGE system described by Panyim and Chalkley is suitable especially for small basic proteins (e.g., histones). Additives such as non-ionic detergents as Triton XlOO [0.05-0.1% (w/v)] may additionally increase the resolution. 

This system separates double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) fragments with a length of 70 x 80 000 base pairs (bp) in gels of 3% to 0.1% agarose. For analysis of smaller-fragments (6000 to 1000 bp) PAGE systems are described in literature with 20-3% polyacrylamid. 

This protocol is designed for proteins separated by SDS-containing PAGE systems. When proteins shall be eluted from gels of other systems, the respective electrode buffer has to be used instead of Soln. A and the polarity should be taken into account. 

SDS-PAGE system called DALT in 1975 to provide this benefit. Investigator and Protean II are the new versions of such systems. 

In the SDS-PAGE system of Laemmli, smaller proteins comigrate with SDS micelles. This prevents the separation of proteins smaller than 10 kDa. A modified buffer system described by Schagger and von Jagow (1987) was developed to allow separations of peptides and smaller proteins. A modification of this technique (see Alternate Protocol 3) incorporates 35% (v/v) ethylene glycol and a high proportion of bisacrylamide cross-linker (6% of the total monomer) in the running gel to further optimize separation of small peptides. 

The interest of the consortium in developing and testing new tools for proteome analysis was directed to solutions for particular technical problems concerning sample preparation, the 2D PAGE system, protein quantification, and the development of UniClone sets (nonredundant cDNA expression library) from the adult human brain to be used for creating clinically relevant biochips. These... 

Acidic PAGE systems using cationic detergents such as benzyldimethyl- -hexadecylammonium chloride (16-B AC) are useful for resolving basic and membrane... 

A preparative SDS-PAGE system, exploiting the electroendosmotic flow, generated during electrophoresis, for the elution of the proteins from the gel, can be used for purification of nearly all the protein components of wine (Vincenzi et ah, 2003).

Vertical Nucleic acid electrophoresis system Our vertical PAGE system includes a power supply, glass plates, spacers, combs, clamps, and heating plates. We use adjustable slab electrophoresis unit Model ASG-400, from CBS Scientific (California) with power supply EC3000-90, from E-C Apparatus Corporation. 

In the incident building, occupants will be notified of emergencies by a fire alarm, paging system, or word of mouth. 

The data have been collected and analysed using a Microsoft Access database the web pages have been developed in ASP (Active Server Pages) system. The database has been created to make easily available the information for the different kinds of users. In order to achieve such a result, it has been devised a file-user interface "user-friendly", guiding the users by means of easy-access menus.
