Polysaccharide Analysis Using Carbohydrate Gel Electrophoresis
A method to characterize plant cell wall polysaccharides is presented. The complexity of the polymer structures and the large number of different charged and uncharged monosaccharides that make up plant polysaccharides have previously made analysis technically demanding and laborious. Polysaccharide analysis using carbohydrate gel electrophoresis (PACE) relies on derivatization of reducing ends of sugars and oligosaccharides with a fluorophore, followed by electrophoresis under optimized conditions in polyacrylamide gels.

Riboprobes imaging process brings benefits to spinal injuries research
With around 90,000 people worldwide incurring a spinal cord injury each year, it is estimated that by 2005 the total world population living with such an injury will rise to over 2.5 million. Spinal cord injury is a major problem because damage to the spinal cord is irreversible. Injured nerves fibres do not normally re-grow, so communication with other nerve cells is lost. One reason why nerves cannot regenerate after a spinal cord injury is because a glial scar is formed around the injury producing a physical barrier. In addition, after injury some inhibitory molecules, such as guidance or matrix proteins are up-regulated, these molecules impair any possibility of axon repair and therefore of recovery.

Neutral Fielding: a background correction method for large gel analysis
The accuracy of quantitative measurements based on the image analysis of gel patterns is directly dependent on the uniformity of the light illuminating the gel. Particularly with large gels, there can be a significant variation of such illumination across the gel. A novel software correction system, known as neutral fielding, can compensate for such background variability.

Imaging Fluorescent Proteomics Dyes
The visualization of proteins on polyacrylamide gels is usually performed by utilizing Coomassie Blue (J.T. Baker, Deventer, The Netherlands)or silver staining. New fluorescent dyes for staining proteins offer such benefits as increased sensitivity and reproducibility over a broad dynamic range(1), as well as mass spectrometry compatibility(2). In addition, they provide simple staining protocols, are easier to dispose of, and are more environmentally friendly than silver staining.

Detecting Fluorescent Dyes on 1-D Polyacrylamide Gels Gels using CCD-based Technology as Compared to Laser Scanning
Laser scanners are commonly used to detect some of the newer fluorescent protein stains such as Sypro Ruby (Molecular Probes, Inc., Leiden, The Netherlands), because it provides detection in the nanogram range. However, it does have major drawbacks including being an expensive technology, with limited uses in terms of detecting a range of visible protein stains. Charge-coupled device (CCD) technology offers the advantage of being more flexible in its applications but is often reported as being less sensitive than laser scanning for measuring proteins labeled with fluorescent dyes.
