Tandem affinity purification is a robust approach for the identification of protein binding partners. As proof of concept, this methodology was applied to the well-characterized translation initiation factor eIF4E to co-precipitate the host cell factors involved in translation initiation. This method is easily adapted to any cellular or viral protein.

Noroviruses are a major cause of gastroenteritis yet molecular techniques for their characterisation are still relatively new. Here we report two different reverse genetics approaches for the efficient recovery of murine norovirus (MNV), the only member of this genus which can be propagated in cell culture.

Droplet-based microfluidic platforms are promising candidates for high throughput experimentation since they are able to generate picoliter, self-compartmentalized vessels inexpensively at kHz rates. Through integration with fast, sensitive and high resolution fluorescence spectroscopic methods, the large amounts of information generated within these systems can be efficiently extracted, harnessed and utilized.

A description of how to calibrate Förster Resonance Energy Transfer integrated biological sensors (FIBS) for in situ metabolic profiling is presented. The FIBS can be used to measure intracellular levels of metabolites noninvasively aiding in the development of metabolic models and high throughput screening of bioprocess conditions.
FAQs
They represent different physical quantities, so treating them as interchangeable can make an equation dimensionally inconsistent. A numerical value expressed in pound-mass cannot automatically be used as a force value expressed in pound-force. Checking which quantity each pound-based unit represents helps preserve the intended meaning of measurements and prevents unit-related errors in calculations.
Dimensional analysis tracks the physical type of each quantity while units are manipulated in an equation. It can reveal when incompatible quantities have been combined and helps verify that a conversion preserves the measurement's meaning. This is especially important when Imperial measurements are compared with SI results, because numerical values change with the unit system.
A measurement's numerical value depends on the unit selected to express it. Fixed conversion factors connect Imperial units with corresponding SI units, allowing the same physical quantity to be represented in either framework. The quantity itself does not change, but its numerical representation does, so calculations must keep the chosen units consistent throughout.
First identify the physical quantity and its exact Imperial unit, then apply the appropriate fixed conversion factor to express it in SI units. Keep the converted value attached to its unit and use the SI form consistently in the calculation. This workflow supports direct comparison with SI-based results and reduces mistakes caused by mixed units.
The system may appear in historical scientific literature, engineering specifications, and descriptions of laboratory equipment. In these settings, researchers may need to interpret an original measurement or specification before comparing it with newer SI-based data. Converting the information carefully preserves the source value while making it suitable for consistent analysis across documents or experiments.
Conversion places measurements into a unit framework commonly used for consistent calculations and comparison. It also makes dimensional checks easier when results from different sources are combined. For laboratory work, retaining the original Imperial value for reference while using the converted SI value in analysis can reduce unit-related errors without losing the source information.
