How to Choose the Right Protein Characterization System

How to Choose the Right Protein Characterization System

Articles
Proteins perform a vast array of functions. Their structure and their role in the different metabolic networks has always been a popular subject of study for scientists. The most widespread techniques that must be explored in order to understand protein behavior are their characterization and purification methods. Protein analysis instruments are utilized to measure biomolecular interactions, enzyme kinetics, affinity characterization, among other biological events. DNA sequencing techniques are among the most useful when describing the primary conformation of a protein. However, to fully describe complex protein behavior, it is necessary to analyze protein structure after foldage. This occurs when the biomolecule acquires its three-dimensional conformation. This configuration defi...

Edwards’ Sapien 3 Artificial Heart Valve For High Risk Patients

Articles
Repeated failure of the bio-prosthetic aortic valve or Mitral valve, which raises the chances of fatality or severe complications in patients of symptomatic heart disease, has lead to a new breakthrough in artificial valve technology. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the use of Edward Lifescience LLC’s Sapien 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve, which will replace the Aortic or Mitral valve in case of failure. The use of the new valve has also been expanded to high-risk patients by the FDA, giving a new lease on life for patients of symptomatic heart disease. As per experts in cardiovascular devices at the FDA, this is the first time any regulatory agency was approving a transcatheter heart valve as a valve-in-valve treatment to replace the bio-prosthetic mitra...
