Help: Coating Magnetic Beads with Vitamins

... compounds? Specifically, I am trying to coat Invitrogen Dynabeads (Amine or Carboxylic Acid activated) with vitamin B12 (cobalamin) or B1 (thiamine). I am trying to design an assay that will pull vitamin-binding RNA out of a mixed pool of transcripts. However, I have little chemistry background ...

Flaws of Life in a Tube

... of DNA -the proteins used in DNA are a bit more complex that the proteins synthesized. Also, DNA is an interviewing of a mass amount of guanine, thiamine, cytosine, and adenine. So much so that when unraveled, it extends form the earth 'till the moon. However, there was nowhere near the amount ...

Screening of a mutation?

... a defined Minimal medium (MM) of course (like M9 glucose) But I am slightly confused as most E. coli will grow on M9 Glucose w/o the need to add thiamine anyway. But if the parental strain do not you might be able to select that way. On the other hand if you are looking for bacteria that suddenly ...

Screening of a mutation?

not really, if you grew it on plate with thiamine, all bacteria would grow. On the other hand, if you used plates w/o thiamine, only those, who are able to synthesise it (AKA those with ybc1 mutation) would grow
