The cell-surface display system serves as an inherent biological platform for immobilizing enzymes, and thus offers three main advantages: (1) no protein diffusion into surrounding media; (2) enhanced biomass hydrolysis stemming from the close proximity, and induced synergy of enzymes present; and (3) easy recoverability and reusability by simple sedimentation or centrifugation.
Based on current technologies and the biological platform for producing cellulosic biofuels, increasing the polysaccharide to lignin ratio is one possible route to increasing biofeedstock quality.
The aim of this study is to establish and provide an experimental, cell biological platform that allows for the identification of plant species that should be characterized and assessed in more detail.
Large-scale YTH screens have been conducted in a wide range of organisms and have provided several important biological and bioinformatics platforms for the study of protein networks in different organisms.
YTH analysis is one of the well-established methods for mapping binary protein interactions and its usefulness is clearly illustrates by the fact that comprehensive studies of PPIs in several model organisms have provided several important biological and bioinformatics platforms for the study of protein networks in the organism.
Metallic nanopillar/nanowires are emerging as promising platforms for biological applications, as they allow for the direct characterization and regulation of cell function.
His research interests include the use of mass spectrometry for the structural characterization of the ribosome, developing microfabricated devices as sample preparation platforms for biological mass spectrometry, and fundamental studies of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry.
In current biotechnological research, nanostructured particles in the micrometric and nanometric size range are of great importance for the development of new platforms for biological track and image applications.
Differentiating the chemical properties of the external and pore surfaces of sol-gel derived mesoporous materials by selective functionalization is important to advancing their application as platforms for biological catalysis, sensing and drug delivery.
Precise estimates of fold change were also obtained between the Affy and nCounter platforms for biological replicates, and also between the two sets of 24 samples processed on the nCounter instrument.
