Protein purification: From cell pellet to freezer in 12 hour – Part 1
Every biochemist knows that purification of proteins should be as fast as possible because proteins are prone to non-specific cleavage or structure instability due to thermal energy in the environment. In the following post(s) I will detail how I broke my own record of protein purification time.
Next generation PhD program?
Whether you admit it or not, the PhD program is heading slowly but steadily toward a major crisis. The recent series by Nature have prompted me to re-think about the system PhD graduation. I know; nobody likes changes, especially not the academia profs, but believe me, it will hurt twice as much if the system will not […]
Do You Work Like A Professional Scientist?
Adapted from my post at Bitesize Bio on April 11th: In my last article I looked at how to efficiently self-manage the scientist in us all. But, to transform efficient and elaborate planning into a mass of (publishable) results, you need to be technically proficient. Here, I’ll look at some ways to acquire and improve your technical […]
Making the most of your antibodies collection with BioKM
I think it’s time to have a real introduction: My name is Chen Guttman and I am a PhD student at the Zarivach laboratory researching X-Ray crystallography of effector proteins secreted by pathogenic bacteria. I’ve recently started using BioData’s laboratory management tool, BioKM, to help increase my productivity and research capabilities, as well as improve […]
