Hybrid Capture-Based Human Papillomavirus Detection Versus PCR

High-risk types of human papilloma virus (HPV) are one of the most important risk factor for cervical carcinomas in women. Conventionally, pap smear cytology and PCR have been used to screen for the presence of HPV. Recently, a new commercial HPV test has been proposed for diagnosis of HPV-Hybrid capture assay. Background with virus. Human […]

What is Phylogeny?

Phylogeny is the representation of the evolutionary history and relationships between groups of organisms. The results are represented in a phylogenetic tree that provides a visual output of relationships based on shared or divergent physical and genetic characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis is dependent on the type of data inputted, the number of species and the range […]

What are Cytochrome P450 Enzymes?

The superfamily of proteins called cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are involved in the synthesis and metabolism of a range of internal and external cellular components. These enzymes have been identified in many organisms, including animals, plants, bacteria, and even in a few viruses. The name “cytochrome P450 enzymes” is derived due to their several characteristics; […]

GFP Applications

By Jeyashree Sundaram, MBA In biochemistry and cell biology, the most highly studied and developed protein is green fluorescent protein (GFP), which is derived from jellyfish Aequorea victoria. GFP has a remarkable capacity to efficiently radiate visible internal fluorophore that is extremely valuable and naturally attractive. Innovative chances are created by the high-resolution crystal structure […]

Label-free Protein Microarray Techniques

Advances in material science combined with nanofabrication and computational design have led to the discovery of label-free protein microarray techniques. These techniques are of enormous benefit for protein profiling, biomarker screening, drug discovery, drug target identification, and for our knowledge of signaling pathways in disease.
