Protein extraction, fractionation, and purification from cyanobacteria.

Methods Mol Biol

Department of Biology, Texas A&M University, College Station, USA.

Published: May 2007

This chapter deals with methods of protein extraction from cyanobacterial cells based on work in the circadian model organism Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942. Some of these techniques have already been used successfully for analysis of circadian rhythms in cyanobacteria, whereas others are heretofore unpublished, but may yield exciting results in the near future.

Chronic stress exposure has been widely recognized as a significant contributor to numerous central nervous system (CNS) disorders, leading to debilitating behavioral changes such as anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairments. The prolonged activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis during chronic stress disrupts the neuroendocrine balance and has detrimental effects on neuronal function and survival.
