Product Name:

NucleoSpin® Gel and PCR Clean-up kit

Catalog Number:

740609.50

My research focuses on studying posttranslational modification of proteins. I use expressed protein ligation technique to study the effect of phosphorylation and ubiquitination on tumor suppressor protein PTEN and its related NEDD4 HECT E3 ligases. I am also studying the dynamics of ubiquitin-proteasome system using mass spectrometry based proteomics. This clean-up kit is very reliable to purify high quality DNA nucleatides used for cell transfection. I usually use this kit to prepare the single strand DNA templated used as the repair construct for CRISPR knock-in.
