Salting out of proteins using ammonium sulfate precipitation

KC Duong-Ly, SB Gabelli - Methods in enzymology, 2014 - Elsevier
Protein solubility is affected by ions. At low ion concentrations (<0.5 M), protein solubility
increases along with ionic strength. Ions in the solution shield protein molecules from the …

Gel filtration chromatography (size exclusion chromatography) of proteins

KC Duong-Ly, SB Gabelli - Methods in enzymology, 2014 - Elsevier
The protocol described here allows the student to construct a standard curve for a gel filtration
column with a separation range of 5–250 kD. The size (hydrodynamic radius) of a protein …

T cell activation triggers reversible inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase assembly

KC Duong-Ly, YM Kuo, MC Johnson… - Journal of cell …, 2018 - journals.biologists.com
T cell-mediated adaptive immunity requires naïve, unstimulated T cells to transition from a
quiescent metabolic state into a highly proliferative state upon T cell receptor engagement. …

[PDF][PDF] Kinase inhibitor profiling reveals unexpected opportunities to inhibit disease-associated mutant kinases

KC Duong-Ly, K Devarajan, S Liang, KY Horiuchi… - Cell reports, 2016 - cell.com
Small-molecule kinase inhibitors have typically been designed to inhibit wild-type kinases
rather than the mutant forms that frequently arise in diseases such as cancer. Mutations can …

Using ion exchange chromatography to purify a recombinantly expressed protein

KC Duong-Ly, SB Gabelli - Methods in enzymology, 2014 - Elsevier
Ion exchange chromatography (IEX) separates molecules by their surface charge, a property
that can vary vastly between different proteins. There are two types of IEX, cation exhange …
