Fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (DiGE) is rapidly becoming established as a powerful technique for the characterization of differences in protein expression levels between two or more conditions. In this review, we consider the application of DiGE-both minimal and saturation labelling-to biomaterials research, considering the challenges and rewards of this approach.

The established strand-displacement model for mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication has recently been questioned in light of new data using two-dimensional (2D) agarose gel electrophoresis. It has been proposed that a synchronous, strand-coupled mode of replication occurs in tissues, thereby casting doubt on the general validity of the "orthodox," or strand-displacement model. We have...

Two-dimensional electrophoresis has nurtured the birth of proteomics. It is however no longer the exclusive setup used in proteomics, with the development of shotgun proteomics techniques that appear more fancy and fashionable nowadays.Nevertheless, 2D gel-based proteomics still has valuable features, and sometimes unique ones, which make it often an attractive choice when a proteomics strategy...

The aim of this study was to standardize a methodology to obtain two-dimensional (2D) maps of whey proteins from bovine colostrum and mature milk, using two-dimensional electrophoresis, in order to identify the minor proteins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF/TOF MS). A total of 38 proteins were identified, 20 spots in the colostru...

background hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc), a major fatal cancer worldwide, is induced by different etiological factors in the liver. objectives to gain insight into serum protein profiling of hcc with different etiologies. patients and methods we subjected the sera of hbv-hcc, hcv-hcc, non-b non-c-hcc patients, and healthy volunteers to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-de) and liquid chro...

conclusions these results show the usefulness of proteome analysis in successful identification of the common proteins between n. lactamica strains and nmb. this proteomics analysis is the starting point in the path of knowledge development about whole proteome profiles of n. lactamica strains. objectives the main aims of this study were to determine whole proteome profiles of n. lactamica stra...

‎‎‎in this paper‎, ‎we develop multi-step methods to solve a class of two-dimensional nonlinear volterra integral equations (2d-nvies) of the first kind‎. ‎here‎, ‎we convert a 2d-nvie of the first kind to a one-dimensional linear vie of the first kind and then we solve the resulted equation numerically by multi-step methods‎. ‎we also verify convergence and error analysis of the method‎. ‎at t...
