A Guide to Simple and Informative Binding Assays
The aim of binding assays is to measure interactions between two molecules, such as a protein binding another protein, a small molecule, or a nucleic acid. Hard work is required to prepare reagents, but flaws in the design of many binding experiments limit the information obtained. In particular many experiments fail to measure the affinity of the reactants for each other. This essay describes ...
متن کاملAn MBoC Favorite: A guide to simple and informative binding assays
This MBoC Technical Perspective (Pollard, 2010) was sorely needed. The author had been grousing about this for some time and conveying it in various quarters. One occasion was the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Physiology Course. He had given a typically fine lecture, during which he had stunned the students by asking whether they knew the equilibrium association constants for an...
متن کاملTake advantage of time in your experiments: a guide to simple, informative kinetics assays
Understanding virtually any process in cellular and molecular biology depends on knowledge of the rates of the biochemical reactions, so it is regrettable that few cellular and molecular biologists take advantage of kinetics experiments in their work. Fortunately, the kinetics experiments that are most useful for understanding cellular systems are within reach for everyone whose research would ...
متن کاملA Simple Guide to Voodoo Statistics
This paper is prompted by over 20 years working as a statistician within the field of educational research. If it is true that we learn by our mistakes, then I can claim to have learned a great deal in that time. I have also encountered a great deal of what I have termed ‘voodoo statistics’ – numerical results, measures and indicators that are not fit for purpose and conceal rather more than th...
متن کاملA Simple Guide to S3 Methods
Writing functions in R is an important skill for anyone using R. S3 methods allow for functions to be generalised across different classes and are easy to implement. Whilst many R users are be adept at creating their own functions, it seems that there is room for many more to take advantage of R's S3 methods. This paper provides a simple and targeted guide to explain what S3 methods are, why pe...
