Protein Biology Methods

Products for Your Workflow

Genes direct the production of proteins that play a significant role in diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. Protein biology helps us understand the output of these genes and the way they influence our health. Through protein isolation, purification, separation, and detection, protein biology provides earlier and more accurate diagnoses.

Step 2: Purification

Purification is another necessary protein biology method and involves cell lysis, protein binding, washing, and elution. The protocol used will depend on the protein you’re purifying. To get started, shop prepacked columns, products for protein purification, dialysis and desalting, and more. For further information, download our resources.

Step 3: Separation

Solubility, size, charge, and other protein characteristics are used to separate proteins. These techniques include various forms of chromatography in addition to electrophoresis and dialysis. Find the products you need for each of these methods and more by browsing gels, columns, and reagents. Learn more by downloading our relevant resources.
