Proteins bind to nitrocellulose paper in Western blot through non-covalent interactions such as hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. The nitrocellulose membrane provides a stable and porous surface that facilitates binding of proteins for detection and analysis in Western blotting assays.

Enhancers must bind to the repressor protein?

Enhancers do not directly bind to repressor proteins. Enhancers typically bind to activator proteins, which in turn help recruit RNA polymerase to the promoter region of a gene, leading to gene transcription. Repressor proteins, on the other hand, bind to specific DNA sequences to inhibit gene transcription.


What are the proteins that bind to DNA and turn on operons by making it easier for RNA polymerase to bind to a promoter called?

transcription factor


Which cell contains membrane proteins en- abling a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane?

The cell membrane contains the membrane proteins that enable a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane. These proteins, such as receptor proteins, are responsible for recognizing and binding to specific hormones, allowing the hormone to exert its effects on the cell.


What do the antibody proteins do?

They bind to antigens, which can be either proteins, carbohydrates, or proteins decorated with attached carbohydrates. This allows the immune system to recognize infectious organisms and parasites so it can prepare to fight them.


What is the main difference between a coomassie stain and a western blot?

In coomassie staining, a dye binds to all proteins, visualizing all of them. In this way, it's nonspecific. The dye diffuses into the the original gel. In a western, an antibody binds specifically to one or more proteins, making it specific for proteins to which the antibody can bind. In order for the antibody to access the proteins from the original gel, they are moved (blotted) to the surface of a membrane (usually nitrocellulose).

What does medicine have to do with chemisrty?

medicine is a form of chemistry; all bodies are created of proteins, which bind with other proteins: medicine is a science whereby pathology is mediated by the interactions of applied proteins with the living system. If you understand how, where, and WHY proteins bind to each other, you understand why pathological conditions can be treated by skillfull application of the proteins to repair cellular behavior.
