Multiparameter screening on SlipChip used for nanoliter protein crystallization combining free interface diffusion and microbatch methods.
This paper describes two SlipChip-based approaches to protein crystallization: a SlipChip-based free interface diffusion (FID) method and a SlipChip-based composite method that simultaneously performs microbatch and FID crystallization methods in a single device. The FID SlipChip was designed to screen multiple reagents, each at multiple diffusion equilibration times, and was validated by scree...
متن کاملCrystallization of the Atg12–Atg5 conjugate bound to Atg16 by the free-interface diffusion method
Autophagy mediates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic components in lysosomes/vacuoles. Five autophagy-related (Atg) proteins are involved in a ubiquitin-like protein conjugation system. Atg12 is conjugated to its sole target, Atg5, by two enzymes, Atg7 and Atg10. The Atg12-Atg5 conjugates form a multimeric complex with Atg16. Formation of the Atg12-Atg5-Atg16 ternary complex is crucial for th...
متن کاملA Nanofilter Array Chip for Fast Gel-Free Biomolecule Separation.
We report here a microfabricated nanofilter array chip that can size-fractionate SDS-protein complexes and small DNA molecules based on the Ogston sieving mechanism. Nanofilter arrays with a gap size of 40-180nm were fabricated and characterized. Complete separation of SDS-protein complexes and small DNA molecules were achieved in several minutes with a separation length of 5mm. The fabrication...
متن کاملOn-Chip Gel-Valve Using Photoprocessable Thermoresponsive Gel
Microfluidic chips are powerful tools for biochemical experiments. High speed and precise flow control can be achieved by using microvalves on a chip. Several types of microvalves that can be integrated into a microfluidic chip have been reported. Among them, gel microvalves have certain advantages over other valves because of their soft structure, which will contribute to prevent mechanical da...
متن کاملA robust and scalable microfluidic metering method that allows protein crystal growth by free interface diffusion.
Producing robust and scalable fluid metering in a microfluidic device is a challenging problem. We developed a scheme for metering fluids on the picoliter scale that is scalable to highly integrated parallel architectures and is independent of the properties of the working fluid. We demonstrated the power of this method by fabricating and testing a microfluidic chip for rapid screening of prote...
