Electrophoresis, 18(14), 2582-2590 (1998-04-04)
Protein targeting and sorting is accomplished by complex vesicular transport processes that are tightly regulated within a cell. This is especially important for epithelial cells because correct delivery of newly synthesized proteins as well as recycling and sorting of internalized
C Pasquali et al.
Electrophoresis, 18(14), 2573-2581 (1998-04-04)
Electrophoretic techniques, and especially two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), have provided an indispensable set of tools for the separation of complex protein mixtures as well as for the identification of protein-protein interactions. Nevertheless, after its introduction more than twenty years ago

A strategy for the rational design of a novel colorimetric sensor based on dithioerythritol-modified gold nanoparticles for the selective recognition of Hg2+ in aqueous media is presented. This approach relies on the combination of gold nanoparticles with Hg2+ through sulfur-Hg2+-sulfur
