Cleavable Affinity Purification (Cl-AP) uses a tripartite system of Protein-A-Streptavidin beads and nanobodies, coupled with a biotinylated, thiol-cleavable linker, providing one-step affinity purification from lysates of tissues expressing tagged proteins. This technique allows fluorescent versions of mitotic protein complexes to be isolated intact from cells, for use in biophysical and microscopy-based assays, overcoming the traditional limitations of reductionist approaches. We have used this technique successfully to purify both GFP-tagged and mCherry-tagged proteins, and their interacting partners, expressed in embryos. Although we demonstrate the efficacy of the GFP-binding protein and RFP-binding protein nanobodies from Chromotek, in theory any antibody could be coupled to the beads and used as a Cl-AP reagent.

Background: Homozygosity for the rare APOE3-Christchurch (APOE3Ch) variant, encoding for apoE3-R136S (apoE3-Ch), was linked to resistance against an aggressive form of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD). Carrying two copies of APOE3Ch was sufficient to delay autosomal AD onset by 30 years. This remarkable protective effect makes it a strong candidate for uncovering new therapies against AD.

Objectives: To investigate the phytochemical composition of Ajwa date extract and evaluate its antiviral activity and mechanism of action.
Methods: High perfomance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to analyze the phytochemical profile of Ajwa date extract. The antiviral activity was assessed using the MTT colorimetric assay against herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-I) and coxsackievirus B4 (CVB-4).

The interaction between proteins and aroma compounds significantly impacts cheese flavor retention during processing. However, it is still unknown how cheese proteins and the aldehyde aroma compounds (AACs) interact. This study aims to clarify the interaction mechanisms between the AACs (benzaldehyde, 2-methylpropanal, 2-methylbutanal and 3-methylbutanal) and β-casein (β-CN) using SPME-GC/MS, multi-spectroscopy techniques, and molecular dynamics simulations.
