Association of Endophilin B1 with Cytoplasmic Vesicles.

abstract：:Theories of DNA electrophoretic separations generally treat the DNA as a free draining polymer moving in an electric field at a rate that depends on the effective charge density of the molecule. Separations can occur in sieving media ranging from ultradilute polymer solutions to tightly cross-linked gels. It has recen...

This is due in part to the inherently high sensitivity of fluorescence-based technology and the relative accessibility of the technique. There is often little concern raised as to whether or not the fluorescen...
