Shipping Address : Instituto de Biotecnologia, UNAM Av. Universidad 2001, Col. Chamilpa, Cuernavaca CP 62210 Morelos, Mexico
Comments : Current request is continuation of previous cfq_Request_2866, to identifiy glycan specificities of rotavirus glycan binding protein VP8.
CFG Core : H
Resource Type : MicroArray
Amount Requested : 10 microarrays
Date that your RNA/GBP samples will be sent to the core [yyyy-mm-dd] : 2014-04-23
Experiment to be conducted : In curent request we plan to analyze again the specificity of interaction between rotavirus VP8-core protein, fused to GST, with glucan on microarray. In our previous attemp we did observed only low level of binding with one sample tested. This semms to be due to the presence of reduced gluthathione in the sample. The proteocol for protein purification was modified, in order to obtain good level of interaction.
Within Scope of Consortium : Y
If yes, indicate the person responsible for inputing data into core B : Pavel Isa
GBP being Addressed : protein samples are labbeled cbp-3225 up to cbp_3231.
Specifc aims being addressed : Define the specificity and affinity for carbohydrate ligands. Identify the ligand(s) that mediate GBP binding.
