PreScission Protease (PSP): Tag Cleavage Guide
2026-08-29
PreScission Protease (PSP), SKU K1101, provides sequence-specific removal of fusion tags from recombinant proteins during purification. It is intended for substrates containing the defined HRV 3C protease cleavage site and is not a general-purpose protease for proteins lacking that sequence. The workflow should be performed under cold, compatible buffer conditions, with cleavage time and enzyme loading established empirically for each fusion construct.

Y-27632 ROCK Inhibitor Workflow for Gastruloids
2026-08-28
Y-27632 enables reversible ROCK1/2 inhibition in workflows that connect cytoskeletal remodeling with gastruloid formation, imaging, and single-construct profiling. This guide translates a microraft-array study of euploid, aneuploid, and mosaic human pluripotent stem cell models into practical dosing, assay-design, and troubleshooting decisions.

PPARγ, Macrophage Polarization, and DSS Colitis
2026-08-28
The reference study identifies PPARγ activation as a regulator of M1/M2 macrophage balance in dextran sulfate sodium-induced intestinal inflammation, linking this effect to opposing STAT-1 and STAT-6 phosphorylation. Its combined cell and mouse experiments connect macrophage phenotype, epithelial barrier integrity, and clinical disease features, while also defining important limits for translating findings beyond acute experimental colitis.

Cy3 NHS ester (non-sulfonated): Practical Guide
2026-08-25
Cy3 NHS ester (non-sulfonated) supports covalent orange-fluorescent labeling of accessible amino groups on proteins, peptides, and amino-modified oligonucleotides. It is suited to workflows that can tolerate DMSO or DMF, but should not be selected for water-only labeling or biomolecules that are highly sensitive to organic co-solvents.

EAGLE-2 and EAGLE-3: Gepotidacin in UTI
2026-08-25
The EAGLE-2 and EAGLE-3 phase 3 trials showed that oral gepotidacin was non-inferior to nitrofurantoin for uncomplicated urinary tract infection and superior in one of the two studies. Their principal innovation was clinical evaluation of a first-in-class antibiotic that targets bacterial type II topoisomerases through a distinct binding site, offering a potential option when resistance limits established therapies.

Aloin A and B Inhibit SARS-CoV-2 PLpro In Vitro
2026-08-24
The reference study identified aloin A and aloin B as selective in vitro inhibitors of both the proteolytic and deubiquitinating activities of SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro), while sparing 3CLpro. Its paired enzyme assays, structural modeling, and molecular dynamics simulations provide a mechanistic framework for evaluating oral-rinse ingredients, but the findings do not establish clinical antiviral efficacy.
