I am a chemical biologist, and my research focuses on identifying small molecules that selectively target cellular processes involved in maintaining protein homeostasis. Therefore, I perform chemical, biochemical, and cell biological assays relevant to protein synthesis (ribosome) and degradation (the ubiquitin proteasome system and autophagy). This product is a good reagent to induce cell starvation.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

To trigger cell starvation

Starting Material

HCT116 cells

Tips

Great for live cell imaging in this medium for starved cells

Results Summary

This reagent is good for inducing cell starvation especially when cells are incubated with 5% CO2 as the reagent can adjust pH accordingly, unlike HBSS.
