Researchers are beginning to use a wide range of fluors in microarray experiments. A partial list (derived from the literature, discussion with colleagues, rumors, etc) includes FITC, Alexa Fluor® 488, 532, 546, 568 & 594, FAM, JOE, Cy3TM, tetramethylrhodamine, TAMRA, ROX, Texas Red, BODIPYand Cy5TM. Here we review a set of papers where multiple fluors are used in SNP genotyping and protein arr...

Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptides are multispecific membrane proteins that regulate the passage of crucial endobiotics and drugs across pharmacological barriers. OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 have been described to play a major role in the hepatic uptake of statins, antivirals and various chemotherapeutics; whereas the pharmacological role of the ubiquitously expressed OATP2B1 is less well characte...

We report the results of high-angular-resolution observations that search for exozodiacal light in a sample of main sequence stars and sub-giants. Using the “jouvence” of the fiber linked unit for optical recombination (JouFLU) at the center for high angular resolution astronomy (CHARA) telescope array, we have observed a total of 44 stars. Out of the 44 stars, 33 are new stars added to the ini...

Fluorography has recently achieved widespread usage for detection of radioactivity in polyacrylamide gels (1,2). Aqueous gels are equilibrated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO),’ impregnated with fluor PPO dissolved in DMSO. soaked in water to remove DMSO, dried, and exposed to X-ray film at -70°C. The use of DMSO is necessitated by PPO’s insolubility in water. /3 particles, instead of directly in...
