A frequent problem of recombinant protein production is their insolubility. To address this issue, engineered Escherichiacoli strains like Arctic Express that produce an exogenous chaperone facilitating protein folding, have been designed. A drawback is the frequent contamination of the protein by chaperones. A simple method, using urea at a sub-denaturing concentration, allows unbinding of Cpn60 from expressed protein. This method was successfully used to purify 2 proteins, an enzyme and a viral protein. The enzyme was fully active. The nature of interaction forces between enzyme and Cpn60 was investigated. The method is likely applicable to purify other proteins.

Division of Hematology, Children's National Hospital, Washington, District of Columbia, USA.
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) confers neurological risks that contribute to cognitive and academic difficulties. Clinical guidelines state that cognition should be monitored using signaling questions. However, evidence is lacking regarding the extent to which signaling questions accurately identify children with cognitive issues.

Background: Pathogenic bacteria are widespread in nature and can cause infections and various complications, thereby posing a severe risk to public health. Therefore, simple, rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective methods must be developed to detect pathogenic bacteria. Biosensors are prominent platforms for detecting pathogenic bacteria owing to their high sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, and stability.
